Kehä II

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kehä II (Swedish: Ring II) is a highway in Espoo, Finland. Running north-south, it currently connects Turuntie in the north to Länsiväylä in the south.[1] Despite its name suggesting a circle, it's not a true beltway, unlike Kehä I and Kehä III.

[edit] History

The road was initially planned in the 1960s, but it was not until the fall of 2000 when the first phase was completed.[1]

[edit] Future

Since the cross-city traffic in Espoo, Kauniainen and Vantaa is estimated to nearly double by the year 2025,[2] plans have been made to extend Kehä II up to Hämeenlinnanväylä in the northeast and add lanes where the road is currently only 1+1 lanes wide.[3]
