Old City Harbour tram line
In Tallinn, the construction of the Vanasadama tramway has completed, which will help to connect the port area with the city even better than before. Both the locals and approx. 9 million passengers passing through the port every year will benefit from the new convenient connection. It will be possible to ride directly from the port to the airport or Balti Jaam without transfering. The line will be served by tram no. 2 on the route Airport-Vanasadam-Kopli.
_________________
The tram will initially run on the Kopli-Vanasadam-Suur-Paala route. When the construction of the Rail Baltic Ülemiste terminal reaches a stage that allows trams to pass through the area of the future terminal, the tram will start running to the airport as soon as possible.
As a result of the works, a new tramway section of approximately 2.5 km has completed, starting from the intersection of Kivisilla and Gonsiori streets, passing through the port area, and extending up to Põhja puiestee. The aim is to make travel with different public transport modes more convenient, ensuring that Tallinn’s major transportation hubs are interconnected and transfer is as easy as possible.
The new route will take a left turn from Kivisilla street to Gonsiori street. The route continues through Laikmaa, Hobujaama and Ahtri streets to the harbor area. Via Laeva, Kuunari and Kai streets, you pass in front of the A-terminal of the port, and via Logi and Rumbi streets you pass under Linnahall. Upon reaching the Kultuurikatel, the tramway joins the Kopli tramway running from Mere and Põhja boulevard.
