The bridges on Jyväskylä’s Länsiväylä have been closed to motor vehicles for the duration of a major renovation project. According to Yle, the traffic restriction affects a busy route in the city and changes how people can move through the area.

Emergency vehicles and public transport are still permitted to pass. The arrangement means the bridge closure will have a direct impact on everyday traffic in Jyväskylä while the repairs continue.
