  • FINEST BAY AREA DEVELOPMENT OY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT Finest Bay Area - Railway Tunnel Between Finland and Estonia
    FINEST BAY AREA DEVELOPMENT OY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT Finest Bay Area - Railway tunnel between Finland and Estonia The world’s longest railway tunnel project that uses private funding Finest Bay Area - Railway tunnel between Finland and Estonia The goal of the project is to construct an undersea railway tunnel between Finland and Estonia that serves both passenger and freight traffic and significantly reduces travel time between the countries. The travel time target between Helsinki Airport and Ülemiste airport in Estonia is approximately 20 minutes. The planned railway tunnel merges the Helsinki region and Tallinn into a single metropolis. The tunnel will connect Asia and Europe into a single hub for business, travel and traffic, since the tunnel project makes it possible to travel to Tallinn by train directly from Helsinki Airport. On the Estonian side, the possible connection with the Rail Baltica project will connect the region even more closely to Central Europe. Facts about the project • Tunnel length approx. 100 km. • The total cost of the project is estimated at EUR 15 billion. • The project is based on private funds. Control over the project company will remain in Finland, with project financing provided by international investors from all over the world. Equity will amount to 30% of the financing and 70% will be covered by debt. • At the moment, a one-way ticket costs 50 euros, a return ticket 100 euros and a yearly ticket 1,000 euros. Tickets are available from an online store: https://shop.finestbayarea.online/ • The project involves planning an artificial island which, according to the larger option, would enable real estate development on the island.

The objective of the TEN-T is to promote the European internal market, regional cohesion and sustainable traffic network. • A multimodal user-centric design for total mobility is needed. Smart solutions are needed for travellers travelling in Helsinki and Tallinn as well as in other cities in the BSR. • Both cargo and passenger traffic is estimated to increase via the Helsinki-Tallinn fixed link. Developing the link would have a significant effect especially on commuter traffic but also on tourism. A preliminary study is needed in order to connect the Helsinki Airport line with Rail Baltic.

Raideliikenteen lisäämisestä ollaan laajalti yksimielisiä. Uusi liikennejärjestelmän suunnittelukierros (HLJ) on käynnistynyt seudun 14 kunnan alueella. Laajemmin kuin ennen Helsingin kasvun suuntaa- misen kysymyksiä pohditaan kuntien ja valtion yhteistyönä. Näyttää siltä, että kohtuullisin 100-150 M€:n vuotuisin investointipanoksin raideverkkoon seudulle on saatavissa nykyistä palvelua selvästi parempi joukkoliikenne muutaman vuosikymmenen aikajänteellä.

Viikin suunnan haara palvelisi matkustajia edelleen paremmin, mikäli metrorata jatketaan Viikistä Itä- keskukseen, jolloin Vuosaaren nykyinen metroyhteys muuttuisikin Pasilan kautta keskustaan tulevaksi linjaksi (Vuosaari - Itäkeskus - Viikki - Pasila - Kamppi).
