Locations and schedule of drilling and excavation:

  • June 2026. Hakunilantie between Raudikkokuja – Raudikkopolku. Drilling, rock excavation, channel excavation, and excavation of large boulders. 
  • June–August 2026. Eastern side of Hakunilantie between Raudikkopolku – Tammapolku. Drilling and channel excavation. 
  • September–October 2026. Western side of Hakunilantie between Raudikkopolku – Tammapolku. Drilling and channel excavation.

Approximate locations of the drilling and excavation works are shown on the map above. Channel excavation refers to excavation carried out in a long, narrow excavation.

Drilling and excavation works causing significant noise will be carried out on weekdays between 7:00 and 18:00.

Impact on traffic during works

Traffic will be temporarily stopped during certain work phases for safety reasons. The duration of each traffic stop will be a maximum of 8 minutes. An audible warning signal will be given in the area before these operations.

Vibration monitoring

Vibrations caused by the works will be monitored on site by a consultant specializing in such operations. Vibration meters will be installed in selected nearby properties defined by the consultant. The owners or operators of these properties have been contacted separately regarding the installation of the meters. Excavation of large boulders does not cause noticeable vibrations in the surrounding area.

We advise people moving in the area to allow extra time for travel. If particularly disturbing noise occurs indoors in nearby properties, you may send a message to viestinta@vantaa.fi; hearing protection will be provided if necessary.

We apologize for the disturbance and thank you for your patience.
