2008.05.01 | posted in finland, google earth, helsinki, planning | no coments »ive been following the construction of the mt100 road project here in helsinki - a few times a week i take a bus that passed a big hole that in time will hold a tunnel. the tunnel is being built in segments to accommodate the need for regular traffic to still pass the very busy crossroads.
the pdf documents on the tiehallinto website give lots of information but they lack a context to them.
ive taken those pdfs and converted them to png format and added them to my server and you can view them here:
google maps: view map
google earth: click here and open the file in google earth. (the png files are a total of 2,6mb)
