The street closure experiment in the Tervasaari port area of Hamina will last until the end of August.
The closure of the Tervasaari port area in Hamina to vehicle traffic began on May 24, 2026 and will last until August 31, 2026. The closure of the Tervasaari port area will increase the safety of the area and the aim of the experiment is to develop the recreational opportunities in the area and increase the opportunities for existing and potentially new operators in the area to expand and develop new business opportunities.
Code to open the barriers
There are bollards along the road in the Tervasaari harbour area. The bollards can be removed with a code that can be obtained free of charge from the city's ASIO booking system. The code is sent to your email, which you then enter into the number code reader in the grey cabinet ( * + number code). The code is valid all day.
The trial has received good feedback so far, with the port area becoming calmer, which has made the area more pleasant to stay in. There have been some challenges in the technical operation of the bollards, which has caused challenges for operators in the area, especially in terms of goods deliveries.
In terms of event production, the street closure experiment has enabled the safe organization of events. There will be a car event in the port area on Saturday, July 4, 2026, and the organizers will be directing traffic at the bollards while the roadblocks are down for the passage of cars.
