Paasikiven–Kekkosentie

[3][4] The first part was completed on the southern shore of Lake Näsijärvi and north of Tampere's city center in the mid-1970s.

[9] When the street name was entered in the town plan in the early 1970s, one hundred years had passed since Paasikivi was born.

The name Kekkosentie, which was included in the town plan in 1977, is intended to honor President Urho Kekkonen, who had connections to Tampere through businessman Kalle Kaihari.

[12][10] Paasikiventie and Kekkosentie were originally streets managed and operated by the city, but in the mid-1990s they were converted into state-maintained public roads.

The word katu (translated "street") tells that the responsibility for maintaining the road lies with the city of Tampere.
