The Hailuoto Causeway, a fixed road link between Riutunkari in Oulu and Huikku on Hailuoto Island, is planned to open to traffic around the end of 2026, replacing the current ferry service and marking the start of its operational phase. The approximately 8.4 km causeway, being delivered under an alliance model by the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency and its partners, is under construction from spring/May 2024 with an expected construction duration of about 2.5–3 years before opening.
