Ovaska: High-speed Helsinki—Turku railway project should be suspended

CHAIRPERSON of the Parliament’s Transport and Communications Committee Jouni Ovaska (Centre) is demanding that the government suspend the West Railway, a project to build a high-speed rail connection between Helsinki and Turku.

Ovaska called for the suspension after it was reported that the application for 176 million euros in EU funding for the project has been rejected by the European Commission.
