City Council Chairman Toomas Kruusimägi (Reform) said that building the Kantsi tunnel is an important step toward ensuring free and convenient movement.

“The Rail Baltic (as it is known in Estonia — ed.) project is necessary to establish a lasting and stable connection between Tallinn, our neighbors and other European capitals. At the same time, we must not forget the mobility needs of Tallinn residents. The Kantsi tunnel will serve as a vital link between the Ülemiste and Lasnamäe areas and will allow residents to move freely beneath the railway line,” Kruusimägi said.
