Hamina, Finland Traffic Cameras: 500+ Live Cams

Hamina serves as one of the most critical monitoring points in the Finnish road network. Managed by Fintraffic and the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency (Väylävirasto), the city’s infrastructure is dominated by the Highway 7 (E18), which connects Helsinki and Scandinavia directly to the Russian border and the Port of St. Petersburg. This hub supports an immense volume of international freight, heavy industry transit, and the daily pulse of Finland's largest universal port. For those navigating the high-speed bypasses or heading toward the industrial zones of Summa and Hillo, staying informed about road conditions and potential bottlenecks at the Hamina junctions is essential for safe and efficient travel.

TrafficVision provides 24/7 free access to official camera feeds across Hamina’s national highways and municipal streets. Whether you are checking for winter snow accumulation near the Vaalimaa border approach or monitoring heavy vehicle volume near the port entrances, our platform delivers the real-time visual data needed for a seamless journey through the heart of the Kymenlaakso region.

Strategic Infrastructure: The E18 Bypass

Hamina’s road network is a critical component of the Nordic transport system. The city manages a high-utilization segment of the Highway 7 (E18), which forms part of the Trans-European Road Network. The Hamina Bypass, a 15-kilometer ring road completed in 2015, was a landmark project designed to remove heavy through traffic from the city center, significantly enhancing both safety and traffic flow for international logistics.

The scale of the network's utilization is intense, particularly due to the growth of the Port of HaminaKotka. In the first quarter of 2025, the port handled over 3.6 million tons of goods, a record volume that places immense demand on the surrounding road infrastructure. To manage this pressure, Fintraffic utilizes a sophisticated network of monitoring cameras and smart systems, many of which are integrated into the TrafficVision platform. These feeds allow drivers to identify the source of delays—whether it be a seasonal surge in transit traffic or winter maintenance on the Highway 26 junction—before they reach the city limits.

Primary Transportation Corridors

1. Highway 7 (E18): The primary international artery linking Helsinki, Hamina, and the Vaalimaa border crossing.
2. Highway 26: The major regional link connecting the port facilities at Hamina to the inland industrial hubs via Highway 6.
3. Mannerheimintie: The main urban axis of Hamina, serving as the primary thoroughfare for the city's unique circular center.
4. Hillo Road: The dedicated industrial route serving the heavy vehicle movement toward the container and liquid bulk terminals.

Prioritizing Safety on the Eastern Gateway

Road safety is a continuous priority for the Finnish government and regional transport authorities. Finland maintains high safety standards, recording 170 road deaths in 2024, representing a 15% decrease from previous years. However, the high density of heavy vehicle traffic merging onto the E18 bypass presents ongoing challenges for motorists.

The challenge of safety is amplified by the region's coastal climate. The southeastern coast is prone to sudden changes in visibility and surface traction, particularly during the transition between the Baltic autumn and the Nordic winter. According to safety reports from Traficom, nearly three-quarters of all road fatalities in Finland occur on rural roads, making visual monitoring of the high-speed bypasses and forested junctions near Hamina vital for preventing incidents.

TrafficVision empowers Hamina’s drivers by providing the visual tools needed for proactive safety. By allowing motorists to see a tailback at the port entry or a sudden snow squall near the Summa interchange before they reach the location, our platform helps reduce the risk of accidents and improves overall situational awareness across the region.

Navigating Peak Hours and Port Surges

Traffic in Hamina follows a distinct rhythm dictated by the industrial work day and the massive movement of goods through the Nordic region’s largest port.

The Industrial Pulse

As a key logistics and manufacturing hub, Hamina experiences concentrated peak-hour traffic, particularly on the Highway 7 interchanges and the links to the Hillo industrial area. Our urban grid view allows commuters to monitor the main radial routes and the port approaches simultaneously, helping them find the clearest path during the morning and evening shifts.

Port Logistics Flow

Being situated at the primary export gateway of Finland, Hamina’s traffic is heavily impacted by the movement of heavy goods vehicles. During the early 2025 period, transit traffic through the Port of HaminaKotka increased by over 40%. TrafficVision’s live feeds are essential for commercial drivers looking to identify the best time to move through the coastal corridor and avoid the congestion that often forms near the container terminals and customs gates.
