The Leskinen/Leppämäki level crossing should be replaced by an interchange.

Considering the poor sightlines at the level crossing as well as the incline and track speed limits, the investigation commission recommends that the Leskinen/Leppämäki level crossing should be replaced by an interchange. The Raasepori local authority plans to build an underpass between Leppämäentie and Almantie (the location of the Sundberg/Hakutie level crossing). The plan would also allow for the removal of the Torppari level crossing. Execution of this undertaking will take time, however, and therefore safety should be improved at the level crossing in the interim period. One possibility is presented by Raasepori local authority in its statement: “A plan has also been prepared for the north of the track in connection with Leppämäen-tie, whereby it is proposed that a road be built east to Bäijars industrial area and onwards to highway 111." The local authority notes also that this road could also be built more quickly than the underpass.
