In Kortepohja Student Village, between Kartanonkuja and building Q, the new construction of a 9-storey apartment building and a Sale grocery store will start during this week.
Preparatory work for the construction area around building Q has been started already during week 42. The construction site is located in between of buildings A and Q and most of the construction site traffic will happen via Tietoniekantie and Emännäntie, between buildings B and Q. Construction site traffic and changing routes may affect everyday life to some extent. Everyone should move carefully in the vicinity of the construction site.
