The surface of Tallinn's Town Hall Square has become more wavy in recent years.
The city government is preparing to repair the square's surface. It may cost several million euros.
Repair work could start in a couple of years.
The surface of Town Hall Square is currently very wavy. This is especially noticeable in spring.
The city government has begun plans to repair the square. They are organizing an ideas competition and preparing the project.
Deputy Mayor Kristjan Järvan said there are waves on the square's surface for several reasons.
One reason is the old foundations of buildings under the square. They make the ground uneven.
Cold winters also affect the surface. Waves form due to the ground and weather.
In April, the city will present more detailed plans. Citizens will be able to participate in the discussion.
The results of the ideas competition will be clear in autumn.
Design will begin at the end of 2026. Construction may start in spring or summer 2028.
During the project, archaeological studies will also be conducted. This will help avoid problems in the future.
The current estimated cost of repairing the square is about three million euros. The exact amount will be determined later.
