Ring II (pronounced "ring two",

beltway yet, unlike the parallel Ring I and Ring III
highways.

History

The road was initially planned in the 1960s, but it was not until the end of 2000 that the first phase was completed.[2]

Future

Since the cross-city traffic in Espoo, Kauniainen and Vantaa is estimated to nearly double by the year 2025,[3] plans have been made to extend Ring II to connect up with Finnish national road 3 (Finnish: Hämeenlinnanväylä) in the northeast and add lanes where the road is currently only one lane wide in each direction.[4]
