Construction work of Kruununsillat (Crown Bridges) begins. Restrictions on small craft traffic.
The temporary bridge (Finke bridge) is in use in the strait between the Nihti (Sompasaari) and the Korkeasaari during the works, vertical clearance 1m and horizontal clearance 3m.
Waterway access from the sea area off Helsinki to Kalasatama and the area north of the Kulosaari Bridge will be preserved with certain restrictions. This waterway will also be navigable by larger boats. The strait between the islands Mustikkamaa and Korkeasaari may also be used. Because, at present, there is no actual channel in the area, mariners navigate at their own risk. Particular attention should be given to the Korkeasaari Bridge under which traffic will pass. At its highest, vertical clearance under the bridge is 4.7 m at the centre of the bridge in an area with a width of approximately 20 m. Signs will be placed on the bridge to indicate the area with the highest vertical clearance. Other markings will be added later along the north shore of Korkeasaari when construction work begins.
