City crews and winter equipment ready for anticipated snowfall

The City of Saskatoon is ready to respond to changing road conditions over the next couple of days. Environment and Climate Change Canada is forecasting snow and gusty winds tonight and tomorrow. 

Should winter conditions develop, 16 sanders and eight plow trucks will prioritize Circle Drive, expressways, bridge decks, ramps and high-traffic intersections to maintain safe travel conditions during the morning commute and throughout the snowfall. De-icing treatments will be ongoing as needed. 

With snow and below-zero temperatures in the forecast, drivers are reminded to adjust their speed, maintain a safe following distance and give road equipment—indicated by blue and amber flashing lights—the space needed to operate safely.
