Progress of Construction and Planning
The decision to build the Tampere tramway was made in November 2016, and construction began in the spring of 2017. Part 1 of the Tampere tramway was implemented between 2017 and 2021. In the first part, Tampere received tram tracks and stops from Pyynikintori to Hervantajärvi and from Kauppi campus (Tays area) to Sorin aukio square. Additionally, a tram depot was built in Hervanta. Traffic on the first part began on August 9, 2021.
The decision to implement part 2 of the Tampere tramway was made by the Tampere City Council on October 19, 2020. Part 2 includes the section from Pyynikintori to Lentävänniemi through the areas of Santalahti, Hiedanranta, and Niemenranta. This part was taken into use in stages. Traffic on section 2A from Pyynikintori to Santalahti began on August 7, 2023, and on section 2B from Santalahti to Lentävänniemi on January 7, 2025.
The total length of the tramway lines for parts 1 and 2 is 24 km.
Next, Heading to Pirkkala and Linnainmaa
First Phase
The decision to build the Tampere Tramway from Pirkkala to Linnainmaa was made in October 2024, and construction began in December 2024. In the first phase, tramway sections from Sorin aukio square to Partola and from Kauppi campus to Niihama will be built. The goal is to start traffic to these temporary terminal stops in August 2028. In the first phase, significant modifications will also be carried out at the Tampere Tram Depot located in Hervanta.
First Phase Stops:
Between Sorin Square and Partola, there will be 7 pairs of stops in the first phase: Viinikanlahti, Hatanpää, Arboretum, Rantaperkiö, Härmälä, Härmälänranta, and Partola.
Between Kauppi Campus and Niihama, there will be 1 pair of stops in the first phase: Niihama.
Second Phase
In phase 2 (2028–2032), sections from Partola to Suuppa and from Niihama to Linnainmaa will be built. Traffic to Suuppa and Linnainmaa could begin in early 2032. The implementation of the second phase requires confirmation of state support.
Second Phase Stops:
Upon completion of the second phase, there will be a total of 11 pairs of stops between Sorin Square and Suuppa: Viinikanlahti, Hatanpää, Arboretum, Rantaperkiö, Härmälä, Härmälänranta, Partola, Pakkalankulma, Killo, Haikka, and Pirkkala.
