No passage through the waterfront route next to Hietaniemi Cemetery on weekdays in late November

Passage through the route is closed from Monday to Friday on 17–28 November from 7.00 to 17.00. The route is partially closed due to excavation work for the replacement of outdoor lighting. During evenings and weekends, the waterfront route can be used normally.

Birger Käcklundin raitti runs alongside Hietaniemi Cemetery from the western end of Hiekkarannantie to Lapinlahdentie. The renovation will improve the outdoor lighting of the waterfront route.

The waterfront route is named after Birger "Zeke" Käcklund (1930–1991). Käcklund was Helsinki's first cycling path inspector and cycling was his way of life. He was a deputy and full member of the City Council in the 1980s. The name of the route had already been in unofficial use since the late 1990s until it was made official in 2022.
