See below for updated information on potential impacts of the construction work.
Update 19 December, 2025
The construction site will be closed for the Christmas holiday from 22 December to 6 January.
Most of the work phases that cause the highest noise levels have now been completed. At the beginning of 2026, some drilling for pile foundations will still be carried out, which will generate noise. Noise-producing work will take place between 8:00 and 19:00. One building on the site still needs to be demolished; mechanical concrete crushing will be used during the demolition work.
Construction of the hotel foundations will begin on 7 January, after that the structural frame will get underway. The structural elements will be transported mainly via Hiihtokouluntie.
Update 6 December. 2025
The water tank and district heating modifications are now complete and the parking lot is in use for passenger cars. The hotel construction site fences will remain in place until 2027. Bus parking will continue at the stadium.
