“Since then, it has been a tourist attraction. Now it closes it to the public.”
“expensive investments”
“Already in the summer shut down the tower in a couple of weeks because of hissproblem. But the discussions on the Kaknästornets future has been going on a long time, and intensified during the summer. Now the tower has been completely turned off since the 25th of september. “
“the Decision was taken in the last week. The reason is that the investments required to keep the tower open to the public is no longer possible to justify from the Teracoms side.”
