The Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Transport programme’s committee granted 2 133 540 euros of funding for the development planning of the Port of Turku infrastructure on 15 July 2021. The project was started in April 2021 and will continue to June 2024.
The funding will be used for the planning of measures aimed at improving the infrastructure, logistics and safety of the Ferry Terminal Turku project. The project is divided into three modules:
- the first module concerns planning of quays and purchases of contract work related thereto
- the second one aims at compiling a cost-benefit analysis on the construction of the joint terminal regarding future CEF applications
- the third one focuses on planning of project management and communication.
The relocation of the Turku port railway is a joint project between the City of Turku and the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency. The goal is that in the future, trains will travel to the port from the north, from the direction of the Pahaniemi bridge, near the new joint terminal in the passenger port. Additionally, safety will be significantly increased as eight current level crossings will be removed from use.
The surroundings of Turku Castle and the port area will undergo major redevelopment in the coming years. Linnanniemi will become a maritime art district where one can experience history, the sea and a sense of connection to the beautiful archipelago all at the same time.
