Recently, a pivotal agreement was established involving the reconstruction of the Majaka – Väike-Paala section of Peterburi road in Tallinn. This project, spearheaded by Tallinna Teede AS, a subsidiary of AS Merko Ehitus, aims to revitalize a crucial stretch of road, ensuring it meets modern infrastructure demands.
Details of the Reconstruction Project
Spanning approximately 590 meters, this section begins at Majaka Street and concludes at Väike-Paala Street. The planned enhancements include not only the renewal of the road surface, but also substantial upgrades to underground utilities. A primary focus is to enhance safety at intersections, which significantly benefits all types of road users.
Infrastructure Improvements
As part of the reconstruction, the installation of nearly 3.5 kilometers of new water and sewage pipelines and around 600 meters of fresh gas pipeline is set to occur. These upgrades are vital for ensuring the infrastructure can safely support the growing demands of the area.
