The result of the Vanasadama tram line construction work in the summer of 2024 will be a nearly 2.5 km section of a new tram line that starts at the crossroads of Kivisilla and Gonsiori Street and ends on Põhja Avenue. The installation of the tram rails will be followed by installing pavement on the road and sidewalks, traffic control equipment, bus shelters and other urban fixtures and greenery along the tram line route that will last until the end of the contract in February 2025.
