Hanhikiventie will be 8 metres wide and stretch four kilometres from Highway 8. A pedestrian and bicycle road will be built at the same time from Parhalahti to the power plant area. The estimated traffic flow during the construction phase is 1,000–1,500 vehicles per day. Of these, 150 are heavy vehicles. At Pyhäjoki, the estimated traffic on Highway 8 is approximately 2,300–4,000 vehicles a day, which is why a new lane will be built to the Hanhikiventie junction.
