Helsinki's longest bridge, Kruunuvuorensilta, connecting Kruunuvuorenranta and Korkeasaari, is opening today as part of a project to extend tram traffic from Hakaniemi to Laajasalo.

Kai Sadinmaa, a priest who had openly criticized the church for years and was defrocked in 2021, has had his priestly office reinstated by the Helsinki Diocese Chapter, led by Bishop Teemu Laajasalo.

Several schools in East Helsinki, including Laajasalon peruskoulu, Roihuvuoren ala-aste, and Brändö gymnasium, are scheduled to move to temporary facilities in Herttoniemi between 2027 and 2035.
