Even for healthy-footed people, the routes are difficult, and for the elderly and those who walk with stumps, it is impossible.
Flooded streets and roads continue to cause traffic problems in the metropolitan area. The water has taken over both small and large roads and has been a nuisance to both motorists and pedestrians.
Floodwaters, for example, rose on Vihdintie in Vantaa on Wednesday. The speed limit in the area is now 50 kilometers per hour. The traffic control company Fintraffic said about the matter.
The exact flood area is about a kilometer north of the junction of Ring Road III on Vihdintie. You can still drive on the road. The area contractor in charge of the road will assess what can be done to the road.
Due to the varying winters in winter, the pavements of busier roads have also been damaged. Uusimaa’s ely center urges road users to pay attention, because even on a busy road, even major damage can occur quickly. According to the Ely Center, more damage is now being done to you than there is time to repair it.
Water has also caused problems in Espoo and Helsinki. There were completely submerged roads in Espoo that could no longer be driven along.
The water, which spread into vast ponds, also made it difficult for pedestrians to progress on Wednesday. In addition to the water, the streets are icy in places and therefore very slippery.

Espoon Living in bird danger Mirja Kosonen left on Tuesday after a day off to pick up food by car. However, the foraging journey by car soon plunged into Helmipöllönkatu, which had almost become a river.
“We parked the car on a side street and walked along the sloping snow wall for the rest of the way.”
The time was not the first. According to Kosonen, the streets in Lintuvaara have been so swampy for two weeks now that he usually leaves the car at home. He doesn’t bother to risk the car getting stuck in a snowmobile.
Walking is just as challenging.
“Never before in my life have I had such a long time that I don’t bother to get things done by car because of bad roads.”
In the underpass tunnel of Ring Road 1 between Kurkimäki and Myllypuro, it is difficult. On Wednesday, a man walking with a walking stick was helped past an awkward place.
Helsinki Living in Kurkimäki Iiro Koskenniemi with his photo, he wanted to tell about the underground tunnel between Kurkimäki and Myllypuro from the point of view of pedestrians.
He gave the title of the work he took from the watery tunnel below Ring Road 1. It is “The world’s smallest violin plays for motorists upset by puddles”.
“I’ve walked outside today and the roads are like arrows and it’s hard to walk on the sidewalk. The motorists ’complaint in the magazine about the puddles went under the skin. There is a different kind of reality and it is really difficult for people. ”
Koskenniemi at the top of the picture is a line of Hurst bread about 150 meters long.
“I’m a healthy young man with studded shoes and more. Older and disadvantaged people suffer more from this. I took a picture as one man walking with a walking stick was led from the side of the puddle. ”
Koskenniemi points out that it is completely impossible for elderly mopeds or wheelchairs to walk in an underpass tunnel.
Koskenniemi helped a young woman on the other side of the water pond at the same point on Tuesday night.
“He had a bag and a booth with two cats. He had a hard time getting over it anyway, and of course he didn’t want to swim the cats. ”
