Tallinn Marathon to trigger weekend traffic, transit disruptions
The Tallinn Marathon and Tallinna Sügisjooks (Autumn Run) will bring temporary traffic restrictions and public transport adjustments this weekend in Põhja‑Tallinn, the city center and Haabersti districts.
The marathon will draw thousands of participants to city streets. Anyone moving in the race area should plan extra time to reach their destination, follow temporary traffic arrangements and, if possible, choose an alternative route.
Traffic will be closed or disrupted on and around the race course — including Paldiski maantee, Ristiku tänav, Kolde puiestee, Kopli, Tööstuse and Kalaranna tänav, Toompuiestee, and the Stroomi and Rocca al Mare areas.
