The Europe Highway E18 Muurla - Lohja
Project
The
length of the motorway between Muurla and Lohja is approximately 50 kilometres. The project also includes Lohja�s western approach road from the
interchange of Karnainen to Routio. Characteristic
of the motorway portion are deep rock cuttings and high banks, since the road
runs crosswise with regard to the height proportions of the area. There are
narrow valleys of field or woods between high rock ridges in the area. Therefore,
seven tunnels with an aggregate length of more than 5 kilometres have been planned for this portion. Another characteristic of the
construction of the project is the exceptionally high amount of excess mass. The
processing of this mass is an area of innovation for the service provider. The
constructing of the road emphasises the quality of the environment, which shows,
in addition to the tunnels, as efficient noise control, groundwater protection
and several landscape bridges.
The
project comprises a motorway portion of approximately 50 kilometres
Finnra�s
