Ring Rail Line in brief
•
•
•
The Ring Rail Line runs from Vantaankoski station via
the airport to Tikkurila. It will unify public transport in
the metropolitan area and make it a functional whole.
The building was commenced in 2009. The project will
be completed in July 2015.
The Ring Rail Line is an important railway line
crossing the metropolitan area. It is both a railway
connection to the airport and an urban railway line,
which provides an opportunity for 200,000 potential
residents and 200,000 potential commuters to work to
use public transport.
The realisation of the Ring Rail Line entails:
• the railway and stations in connection with the
railway, including arrangements for park-and-ride
facilities and bus terminals;
• Tikkurila office and retail centre/station bridge;
• Road arrangements required for the Ring Rail
Line, the largest of which is the development of the
Hämeenlinna motorway in Kivistö

Five new stations
•
During the first phase of Ring Rail Line project (2009–
2015) builds five new stations
• Surface stations at Vehkala, Kivistö and Leinelä and
the tunnel stations at Aviapolis and Airport.
•
In addition to the stations, the project includes three
reservations for stations, which makes it possible to
build a station at the location later on.
• There are reservations for tunnel stations at
Ruskeasanta and Viinikkala and for a surface station
at Petas.

length of railway line 18 kilometres, 8 kilometres of which in tunnel
new stations: Kivistö, Aviapolis, Airport, Leinelä and Vehkala. There are
reservations for tunnel railway stations at Ruskeasanta and Viinikkala and
for a surface station at Petas.
45 bridges will be built
SM5 low-floor trains, i.e. Flirt trains, new rolling stock, running at 10-minute
intervals in both directions
design speed 120 km/h
park-and-ride facilities in the initial phase: 700 cars and 840 bicycles
car parking spaces: Vantaankoski 220, Kivistö 250 (500), Leinelä 120
At present about 850 persons are working on the Ring Rail Line project.
The costs, 675 million euros, are divided between the Finnish Transport
Agency, the city of Vantaa and Finavia. The project receives TENT-T funding
from the EU.

The Ring Rail Line will be completed in summer 2015
•
•
The Ring Rail Line will go into operation in July 2015. According to the original
schedule, the Ring Rail Line was to be opened for traffic in 2014.
The schedule had to be revised due to the additional work caused by
disintegration products of glycol found in the bedrock of the Helsinki Airport.
• Microbial growth and glycol were first observed under the eastern runway in
autumn 2010.
•
•
•
Since the disintegration products of glycol shorten the life of construction
materials, more durable materials than normally had to be used in the tunnel
constructions.
The solution to the problem was to build an airtight twin tunnel inside the rock
tunnel for a stretch of about 1,000 metres.
Similar insulation structures will also be built in the station facilities, vertical
shafts and pedestrian walkways. The smell caused by the disintegration
products will be eliminated by creating a vacuum in the space between the rock
and the insulation structure.

The Ring Rail Line connects the traffic in the
metropolitan area
•
•
The new stations of the Ring Rail Line and well-planned
park-and-ride facilities will improve the traffic flow in the
metropolitan area.
The Ring Rail Line
 provides an option to take the train to new areas and
connections. Daytime trains will run at 10-minute
intervals in both directions
 reduces motor vehicle traffic within Vantaa City
•
The starting point of the station arrangements is easy
mobility, smooth feeder traffic and short changing times.
 park-and-ride facilities in the immediate vicinity of the
stations
 bus terminals at the stations in Vantaankoski and Kivistö
•
The Ring Rail Line provides a direct railway connection to
the airport
 urban railway line to the international airport, the travel
time to the airport is 30 minutes from the centre of
Helsinki

The Ring Rail Line creates something new
•
The Ring Rail Line is an urban railway line creating
opportunities for new residential and job areas.
 The Ring Rail creates opportunities for new
residential areas in its area of influence. In the
initial phase 5 new stations will be built along
the railway.
 It also creates thousands of new job
opportunities. At present about 850 persons are
working on the Ring Rail Line project.
 The first underground railway stations in Finland
are built on the Ring Rail Line and its 8kilometre twin tunnel for passenger traffic is
unique.

The Ring Rail Line takes the environment into
account
•
The Ring Rail Line the environment into
account and enlivens the cityscape.
 The Ring Rail Line offers an ecological
way of travelling.
 In the planning and construction phases
of the Ring Rail Line, all negative impact
on the environment has been minimised.
 An environmental art plan has been
drawn up for the Ring Rail Line. Art will
bring the stations to life.
