Hirsimäki, Kirjauksentie–Sakonkatu junction
Station plan change
The change in the local plan is intended to enable the placement of a roundabout at the intersection of Kirjauksentie and Sakonkatu by expanding the street area. Changing the traffic light-controlled four-way junction between Kirjauksentie and Sakonkatu into a roundabout is one of the development measures in accordance with the Riihimäki city centre and access roads transport system plan 2040. The aim of the measure is to divert heavy traffic away from the centre and improve the traffic handling capacity of the junction.

The City Board has decided to amend the local plan for the Kirjauksentie and Sakonkatu interchange in connection with the approval of the zoning review and program 2025 on 24 February 2025 (section 40). The Kirjauksentie–Sakonkatu interchange is designated A5 in the zoning program.
The initiation of the plan was announced in the city's official newspaper, Aamuposti, and on the city's website on November 15, 2025.
The conversion to a roundabout requires space around the current four-way junction, and therefore the areas zoned as VP and AO areas in the plan amendment need to be converted to street areas. Therefore, the change in the local plan has more than minor impacts (non-minor plan amendment).
Participation opportunities in the different stages of planning are presented in the appendix to the participation and evaluation plan (Appendix 1).
The work has begun with the preparation of the necessary background materials and reports. This website will provide information on the progress of the planning and how to participate in the planning work.
