The Climate Ministry will allocate €35 million in EU funds to help Tallinn expand its bike path network and diversify its public transport options.
This was reported by the ministry's press service, noting that, together with the city's own contribution, a total of more than 50 million euros will be invested in improving the sustainability of mobility in Tallinn.
Almost 10.1 million euros of EU funds will be used to build bicycle paths in Tallinn on Pärnu Highway, Tehnika Street, Liivalaia Street and Suur-Ameerika Street.
EUR 9.6 million will be invested in the Lilleküla multimodal transport hub, which will improve intermodal transfers between different public transport modes.
About 15.5 million euros will be allocated for the construction of the tram line on Liivalaia Street. The construction of a tram line to the Pelgurand area is still under consideration. A decision on this project is expected in August of this year.
In May this year, the ministry allocated almost 26 million euros for the construction of bicycle paths in Tartu and Pärnu. All relevant projects will be implemented between 2024 and 2029.
