Ring II (pronounced "ring two", {{langx|fi|Kehä II}}, {{langx|sv|Ring II}}; also known as Kilonväylä[https://www.lansivayla.fi/paikalliset/1351647 Espoo puolustaa Kehä II:n jatketta – "Asukasmäärä kasvaa eivätkä liikkumisen tarve ja ruuhkaisuus vähene nykyisestä"] (in Finnish)) in the city of Espoo is one of the major highways in Finland. The road runs north–south, connecting Turuntie in the north, to Länsiväylä in the south.{{cite web|title=Tiehallinto – Kehä 2|url=http://www.tiehallinto.fi/keha2|accessdate=2008-05-04|language=fi}} Despite its name suggesting a circle, it has not been built as a true beltway yet, unlike the parallel Ring I and Ring III highways.
History
Future
Since the cross-city traffic in Espoo, Kauniainen and Vantaa is estimated to nearly double by the year 2025,{{cite web|title=Tiehallinto – Kehä 2 – The current situation|url = http://www.tiehallinto.fi/servlet/page?_pageid=71&_dad=julia&_schema=PORTAL30&menu=6463&_pageid=71&kieli=fi&linkki=10599&julkaisu=4128|accessdate=2008-05-04|language=fi}} plans have been made to extend Ring II to connect up with Finnish national road 3 ({{langx|fi|Hämeenlinnanväylä}}) in the northeast and add lanes where the road is currently only one lane wide in each direction.{{cite web|title=Tiehallinto – Kehä 2 – Future plans|url = http://www.tiehallinto.fi/servlet/page?_pageid=71&_dad=julia&_schema=PORTAL30&menu=6464&_pageid=71&kieli=fi&linkki=10600&julkaisu=4111|accessdate=2008-05-04|language=fi}}
