It is the outermost of the three beltways in the Helsinki region, and the first one to be built. It lies across the four Finnish municipalities of Kirkkonummi, Espoo, Vantaa and Helsinki.  Shaped like an arch, the road is 46 kilometres (29\u00a0mi) long, of which only a very small fraction passes within the borders of Helsinki itself.Table of ContentsOverview[edit]History[edit]See also[edit]External links[edit]Overview[edit]Work on Keh\u00e4 III started in 1962, on the base of an existing road. The construction was finished in 1972, initially with only one lane per direction.  Most parts of the road have since been expanded to at least two lanes per direction, although the westernmost end is still one-lane per direction in places.The most recent construction work has been extensive renovation on its busiest stretch in Vantaa, where several interchanges have been built or improved, and lanes added. Industrial development along the road has introduced higher volumes of heavy traffic.The European route E18 is routed through Keh\u00e4 III, bypassing central Helsinki.Keh\u00e4 III is often informally or jokingly considered the outer border of the Helsinki area, because most of the urban development of the capital region is inside the ring. The road itself doesn’t follow any legal border and rural and urban landscapes can be found on both sides of it.The new zone system for fares in the HSL area mostly follows the borders of Keh\u00e4 III.History[edit]  Ring III in Vantaa, looking west.The beginning was constructed between 1962 and 1965 from Bemb\u00f6le to L\u00e4nsisalmi and the continuation to Jorvas was completed in 1968. Originally, each road was two lanes wide. The amount of traffic grew considerably over time and as a result the original intersections with Helsinki’s exit roads became dangerous. Therefore, all intersections with the city exits had been rebuilt as merging loops by the beginning of the 1970s. The road has undergone almost continual modification and widening throughout its existence as traffic has increased in the region.In the mid-1970s, the road between Tikkurila and Helsinki-Vantaa Airport was renovated and 10 years later the road was expanded to four lanes up to Vihdintie. At the end of the 1980s, the road was extended to Muurala and then once again one kilometer farther to the west. This same stretch was rebuilt shortly afterwards when it was expanded to four lanes up through Gumb\u00f6le during the 1990s. Throughout the 1980s, stretches of Keh\u00e4 III were completed to the Lahti motorway and in the 1990s to the Porvoo motorway. The road to Vuosaari Harbour, completed in 2007, extends from the eastern endpoint of Keh\u00e4 III. At the start of 2000s major improvements were made to the heavily used stretch from Tikkurila to Helsinki-Vantaa Airport: the road was widened to 6 lanes and Tuusulanv\u00e4yl\u00e4 motorway’s intersection was rebuilt as a large system connection.When the road was originally built, it was simply called the “Ring road”, but the planning of the other two major roads caused confusion. Therefore, it was called Keh\u00e4 III from the 1970s onward.See also[edit]External links[edit] Media related to Keh\u00e4 III at Wikimedia CommonsWikimedia ErrorOur servers are currently under maintenance or experiencing a technical problem.Please try again in a few\u00a0minutes.See the error message at the bottom of this page for more\u00a0information.
