Updated: The renovation of the central station has started
The renovation of the central station has started. The first thing to do in the area of the central station is to protect the construction site and erect construction site fences.
- In the interior, demolition work will start again, for example the demolition of movables, and the removal of harmful substances, says the developer Pasi Huoponen from Mitra Imatran Rakennuttaja Oy.
According to the renovation plan, the station's wing on the Tainionkoskentie side will be completely demolished. Correspondingly, the wing parallel to the station will be partially demolished: the first two floors will be renovated and the third floor will be demolished. A new waiting area will be built to replace the demolished floor.
Changes to station functions
The central station is closed from Monday 22.7.2024. When the central station is closed, there are no toilets at the station. The cash machine at the central station is also out of use.
In the parking area, the parking spaces closest to Tainionkoskentie will remain within the construction site area, but you can leave your car in the parking spaces on the Vuoksi side during the renovation. Located at the central station, tthe akistolpa's location changes to the side of Tainionkoskentie, near the elevator leading to the station platform.
The bike racks at the central station will be moved to the vicinity of the parking spaces. In the future, the same bike racks will also have a parking space for the central station for city bikes.
The demolition work with machines will start in early August
The access ramp next to the station, leading to the station platform, will be closed when the demolition work by machines starts.
- The slope is in construction site use, and therefore closed to other traffic, says Huoponen.
There is a detour to the elevator that takes you to the station platform: if you leave your car in the station parking lot, you must first go around the demolition site and cross Tainionkoskentie.
- A temporary crosswalk will be made near the elevator leading to the platform, says Huoponen.
There will be a place to leave cars near the elevator, and the escort point is also located near the elevator.
When the demolition work with machines begins, the light traffic lane at the station and the second lane of Tainionkoskentie in the direction of Tainionkoski will be closed, and The local bus stop along Tainionkoskentie will move towards Tainionkoski. Long-distance buses normally go to the parking area of the central station.
The renovation is estimated to be completed by the end of September 2025.

Questions and answers about the renovation of the central station
If not already planned, then...
If it's not already planned, a bus stop with a booth next to the station would be nice
Thank you for your message…
Thank you for your message Vantaa! The renovation of the central station will be completed at the end of September 2025, so it will not be ready in June. During the renovation, temporary toilet facilities will be available for station users in the Blue Building next to the station. A related announcement can be found on our website. For users of the central station, temporary toilets from the adjacent Sininė talo. | The city of Imatra
Welcome to Imatra! The local bus stop is along Tainionkoskentie, i.e. when you get off the station platform by elevator or stairs, you will find it along the aforementioned road. Lappeenranta and Imatra public transport schedules and maps can be found at routeguide.lappeenranta.fi
Hello, is it -25 June?
Goodbye
What will the situation be like at the Imatra train station at the beginning of June -25? Have toilets and proper train waiting areas been installed? We will be coming to Imatra by train and from there we should be able to take a local bus to Imatra Spa. Is it already ready in June? So that there won't be any surprises right away?
Is there a train from the station platform...
Is the lift from the station platform the same one that was there before?
When leaving, you have to wait an hour for the train, right outside?
There is a long break in local traffic from the spa to the station. 11.02 to the train.
Today it's raining and windy...
It's raining and windy today, make extra shelters for the station platform! The front of the elevator is not enough and people block the passage from/to the elevator. I myself waited for the train in the platform's small canopy, to the left of the station. Big puddle of water in the canopy, do you have to stand on the canopy bench?
Parking on Tainionkoskentie is also impossible! The entire parking lot is full of cars. And in the rain, you don't want to walk under the bridge with your luggage. Use the middle grass area for parking, there's plenty of space! Plant a new lawn after the renovation. And the plywood path in the grass lane of the crosswalk is slippery by the way!
Get the hell off someone…
Now damn it, someone go and think about how the light traffic flow to the station platform is organized! Now I really have an eye and especially a sense of how the traffic has been implemented. Yes, it is temporary and there is a clear reason to change the arrangements, but what has been implemented now has not used any common sense. Very basic, the engineer looked at the map and it looks good, the implementation is complete crap.
