The intersection of the road leading to Ellivuori and Karkku has been renewed. An area of \u200b\u200babout 7 hectares is planned next to it, which would especially support tourism. There may also be a few apartments.
A new residential and business area, Ellivuoren Portti, is being planned near the 12-tie Kiskokabinet in Sastamala.
The road starts from the point in the direction of Ellivuori. The intersection has recently been completely renovated.
The purpose of the new area would be e.g. promote tourism in the surrounding area. Within a radius of a few kilometers there are, for example, the Ellivuori ski center, the ancient castle of Pirunvuori, as well as fishing and kayaking opportunities.
It is also intended to designate a place for a new gas station in the area. Station planning is about to start and could be completed in about a year at the earliest. Construction is a longer job.
