The ceremonial opening of the Old City Harbour tram line will take place on Friday, 29 November, at 12 noon on Laikmaa Street, between the Viru Centre and the Tallink Hotel.
At the opening event, the world’s most outstanding slackliner, Jaan Roose, will cross Laikmaa Street between earth and sky, and the Tallinn Police Orchestra will perform. Following the welcome speeches and ribbon-cutting ceremony, a trial ride on the new tram line to the Old Harbour will commence at 12:50. The arrival of the tram will be greeted by the Port of Tallinn team and their mascot, Captain Ülo the Seal.
Starting from 1 December 2024, tram line no. 2 will be redirected to a new route, initially operating on the route Kopli-Vanasadam-Suur-Paala. Once the construction of the Rail Baltica Ülemiste terminal progresses to a stage that permits trams to pass through the future terminal area, the tram will begin operating to the airport at the earliest opportunity.
Construction of the Old City Harbour tram line
Design-build contract for construction of Old City Port tram line was signed in August 2022. The Contractor started with design of the project and construction works started in March 2023. The works will result in a new tram line running along a stretch of about 2.5 kilometers, starting at the intersection of Kivisilla and Gonsiori Streets and extending to Põhja Puiestee. The aim of the works is to improve the comfort of public transport, connecting Tallinn's main transport hubs and making transfers as easy as possible.
The construction of the new tram line will involve a large number of modifications. The future tram line will run from Kivisilla with a left turn to Gonsiori Street. From there, the route will run via Laikmaa, Hobujaama and Ahtri Streets to the harbor area. From Laeva, Kuunari and Kai Streets, the route will pass through the front of the A terminal, and via Logi and Rumbi Streets, the route will pass under the Linnahall. The tramway will reach Kultuurikatel from Mere and Põhja Puiestee and heads to the tramway towards Kopli.
The Vanasadama tram line construction works, including VAT and owner’s supervision, cost about €46 million, with €36.5 million from the The Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF).
