An Environmental Impact Assessment (YVA) report for the fixed transport connection between Oulunsalo and Hailuoto was submitted into the YVA procedure and reviewed by the coordinating authority. The assessment examined the effects of the embankment road on marine currents, water exchange, water quality, ecological status, wave height, and shoreline processes, and also considered cumulative impacts together with a large wind power project located between Oulunsalo and Hailuoto in a simultaneous YVA process, linking the traffic connection and the offshore wind development in the area.
