The sculpture, made of stone by sculptor Aaron Heino, will be brought and installed today, Monday, September 9, at Hämeenaukio. The sculpture, which will become a landmark in the square, is huge: the three-meter sculpture weighs almost seven tons.

Due to the installation, there will be temporary arrangements for traffic in Hämeenaukio. The installation will cause changes to the flow of traffic on Hämeenakuio on the Hämeenkatu side from around 10.30:XNUMX a.m. One of the lanes going from Hämeenkatu in the direction of Lopentie will probably have to be closed.

The sculpture will be unveiled to the public on Riihimäki Day, Wednesday, September 11, at the opening of Hämeenaukio at 17 p.m., when the artist will talk about his work. At the opening of the square, the winners of Riihimäki's home yard competition will also be announced.
