YIT Oyj: YIT to build a new Syrjäsalmi railway bridge in Kitee - contract value approx. EUR 15 million

YIT

YIT Corporation Press Release August 18, 2025, at 10:00 a.m.

The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency has awarded YIT the contract to construct a new railway bridge and track section in Syrjäsalmi, Kitee. The project will replace the existing bridge, completed in 1967, which has reached the end of its lifecycle. The new structure will improve safety and durability, with a total contract value of approximately EUR 15 million.

Construction is scheduled to begin in August 2025 and will continue until December 2026. The new bridge is expected to be commissioned by the end of 2026.

"The Syrjäsalmi railroad bridge is a demanding project and an example of how careful work planning, cooperation between different parties and extensive expertise enable safe construction in a demanding environment. At YIT, we are proud to be involved in the long-term development of the railway infrastructure in Finland," says Aleksi Laine, Director of YIT Infra Segment.

The construction site is located approximately 45 metres from the current bridge, which will be actively monitored throughout the project.

In addition to the bridge, the project includes a realignment of approximately four kilometres of railway track. The new line will be built west of the existing track, and at the intersections with the old embankment, both superstructures and substructures will be renewed. The scope also covers the demolition of the old Huvila underpass and the construction of a new one.
