Vt 4 Kevätlahti–Petomäki, Äänekoski: During April, the traffic will move to a detour at the intersection of Petomäentie

The Finnish Railways Agency announces on 11.4.2024 April 4 that traffic on highway 2024 will be moved to the detour in Äänekoski at the Petomäki intersection during April XNUMX. Road users are asked to pay special attention to compliance with traffic arrangements during working hours and especially driving speeds.
The detour will be put into use during April, weather conditions permitting. The date will be specified during week 16. The arrangement is valid until the construction of the Petomäki crossing bridge.
The temporary arrangement affects traffic on highway 4 from both directions. Driving speeds will be reduced from both directions in stages before reaching the detour from 80 kilometers per hour to 40 kilometers per hour. The speed limit on the ring road section is 40 km/h.
For those driving north, i.e. in the direction of Oulu, the beginning of the Petomäki bypass lane will move about 100 meters north. The driving speeds of those driving south, i.e. in the direction of Jyväskylä, will be reduced in stages starting from the top of Petomäki, about 1,5 kilometers before the work site.
Road users are asked to pay special attention to compliance with traffic arrangements during working hours and especially driving speeds.
- The detour is located in a challenging location in the Petomäki valley, so speed limits must be followed when reaching the work site. Especially when coming from north to south, the work site can be reached from the steep and long Petomäki, project manager of the Väylävirasto Jarmo Niskanen says.
Acting 4 The Kevätlahti–Petomäki contract is part of the Äänekoski–Viitasaari bypass lanes project, where new bypass lanes are built and existing ones are improved and two interchanges are implemented. The goal is to improve the safety and smoothness of traffic and transportation.
On Highway 4, traffic will be diverted to a detour in Äänekoski at the intersection of Petomäentie during April 2024.
