At least two lanes are open in both directions during peak hours and the time reconstruction works are on hold. At least one lane will remain open to traffic on the side of the road where the construction work is taking place and at least two lanes on the other side of the road.

On the street section, the outdated sodium luminaires will be replaced by new LED luminaires. Over the next decade, Tallinn plans to replace all sodium luminaires on the streets with more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly LED luminaires. It is estimated that each luminaire upgrade provides energy savings of approximately 570 kilowatt-hours per year.

As of last year, there were approximately 64,000 street luminaires in Tallinn, of which 14,000 were LED luminaires. Improving the sustainability and quality of street lighting will help increase energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Energy savings from street lighting and buildings owned by the city as well as the use of green electricity have helped to significantly reduce Tallinn’s CO2 emissions in recent years.

The low-masted street lights near the Tallinn Airport are being reconstructed by Leonhard Weiss OÜ on the order of the Tallinn Environmental and Public Utilities Department.
