On Monday, June 28, renovation works of the intra-quarter roads of the City Centre district will begin by order of Tallinn Environment and Public Utilities Department. In the course of the works, the asphalt pavement of the streets and sidewalks will be renewed, the dilapidated curbs will be replaced and the wellheads within the determined area will be repaired. Tree pruning and landscaping work are also performed.

In the coming years, the City of Tallinn will build a series of new and upgraded cycle paths in the city centre and the surrounding districts. Investments are planned from the city's budget as well as from EU funds, with a strong emphasis on community involvement.

Tallinn's Mayor, Mihhail Kõlvart, and Tallinn’s Dean Jaak Aus will light the first advent candle on the Christmas tree at Raekoja Square on Sunday, December 3, at 4:00 PM.

One of the priorities in Tallinn's 2024 budget is the development of a comfortable and safe urban space, which includes investments in transportation infrastructure and making streets more pedestrian-friendly. The city budget has allocated over 47.5 million euros for the reconstruction and major repairs of roads and streets. Key projects for the coming year include the reconstruction of Peterburi maantee and Lastekodu Street, the construction of pedestrian tunnels on Paldiski maantee, the reconstruction of the Kadaka viaduct, and the construction of the first phase of Pollinator Highway green corridor.

The Tallinn Urban Environment and Public Works Department, AS Utilitas Tallinn, and AS Tallinna Vesi are set to sign a cooperation agreement that facilitates better planning and synchronization of utility network construction and reconstruction. This coordination with other city infrastructure projects aims to reduce the impact of construction on the city's residents and businesses.

The Tallinn City Government has presented the City Council with the first supplementary budget proposal for 2024, increasing the total city budget by 9.5 million euros. One of the priorities of the supplementary budget is the urban landscape and mobility sectors, with additional funds allocated primarily to improve the quality of winter street maintenance and to develop landscaping.

On Wednesday, June 26, major reconstruction work will begin on Lastekodu Street, resulting in a high-quality urban space where people can safely and comfortably move on foot, by bike, or by car. The construction will bring changes to downtown traffic and, in later stages, to public transportation.

The speed limits will be lowered on Tallinn's streets to ensure safer traffic. The maximum speed allowed will be 30 km/h on a number of inner district roads and 40 km/h on some of the larger streets in the city centre.

The reconstruction of Lastekodu street and the construction of communication lines at the intersection of Liivalaia street, Tartu maantee, and Rävala puiestee will bring traffic changes and public transport reroutes starting July 15. Traffic controllers will assist in guiding the traffic flow.

Several roadworks in the city are nearing completion, bringing some relief to traffic and allowing certain bus lines that were previously diverted to return to their usual routes. However, ongoing projects in Tallinn will continue to affect traffic in the coming weeks.
