- Investment
- EUR 20.9 million for the tunnel (EU and Estonia)
- Status
- Opened on 1 August 2026
The tram tunnel beneath the Rail Baltica terminal at Ülemiste and the new tram line are complete: since 1 August 2026 lines T2 and T4, coming from the Kopli and Tondi directions, serve Tallinn Airport and the Ülemiste district, restoring the link that had been closed since 2023 because of construction work. The tunnel was built by AS TREF Nord and ATEMO under a EUR 20.9 million contract funded by the EU and Estonia; a 110 m passing loop at the airport terminus, finished in 2025, allows more frequent services. The Ülemiste station (Rail Baltica terminal Linda) is due to be completed in 2028. (LOK Report, 4 Aug 2026)
