Abstract:

In this paper, a rehabilitation project of Lahti railroad station is described. The aim of this project was to improve the structure of Lahti rail-yard to meet the challenges of the new fast speed railroad between Kerava and Lahti. Tracks locations were changed and the rail-yard had to widen south 17 meters. These Changes demanded to demolish old pedestrian bridge, rebuild the piers, elevators, stairs and platform-roofs too. All works had to make so, that rail traffic was able to use at least three parallel tracks whole time on Lahti station.
