Busses will be rerouted due to reconstruction work on Lastekodu street
The reconstruction of Lastekodu street and the construction of communication lines at the intersection of Liivalaia street, Tartu maantee, and Rävala puiestee will bring traffic changes and public transport reroutes starting July 15. Traffic controllers will assist in guiding the traffic flow.
On July 22, the traffic arrangements at the intersection will change again. Pronksi street will maintain one lane for travelling straight and for a right turn onto Rävala puiestee. Access to Tartu maantee will remain via J. Kunderi and Laulupeo street. Tartu maantee will have one lane open for right and left turns, and one going straight onto Rävala puiestee. Liivalaia street will be open for travelling straight and also for a right turn onto Tartu maantee. Access to Rävala puiestee will be via A. Lauteri street. Traffic controllers will manage the traffic flow during the day.
Until July 19 the intersection of Lastekodu and Gildi street will be closed.
Normal traffic at the intersection of Tartu maantee and Liivalaia street is expected to resume in the second half of August. Subsequent work phases will continue along Lastekodu street towards Odra and Masina street. Access for local residents, pedestrians, and cyclists will be ensured throughout the construction period.
Due to the construction at the intersection of Tartu maantee and Rävala puiestee, bus lines 2 and 15 will be rerouted via Liivalaia, Lauteri, and Lembitu streets from July 15 to July 24.

The entire length of Lastekodu street will be reconstructed – from Liivalaia street to Masina street, including a section of Masina street from Lastekodu street to Tartu maantee. To ensure safety for all road users, a speed limit of 30 km/h will be implemented along with measures such as raised intersections, narrow lanes, and minimal turning radii.
The work schedule and activities are based on the specifics of the technological process. Initial work will focus on reconstructing underground lines. Major communication line construction on Lastekodu street between Liivalaia and Odra street will occur this year, with work on the segment from Odra street – Masina street – Tartu maantee continuing next year. This includes installing heating and cooling pipelines, new water and sewage lines, electricity and communication lines, and protecting and constructing gas lines. Additionally, new sidewalks, bike paths, and street lighting will be installed.
The contractor will strive to adhere to the schedule and minimize disruptions to local residents and city life. If technological reasons necessitate work outside regular hours, local residents will be informed in advance.
