City steps up efforts to repair potholes this spring

With the late spring freeze and thaw we've had, and the increase in potholes, City crews are now attacking the bumpy roads with round-the-clock repairs.  There have already been more potholes reported this year than in the entire season in recent years. 

While City crews have been out repairing potholes since the snow melted, rain has occasionally delayed these efforts. However, crews have been on the streets day and night, seven days a week. Crews are working to repair potholes throughout the city and are committed to this aggressive approach to fixing potholes and maintaining safe roadways for all residents. 

Residents are encouraged to continue reporting potholes to the Customer Care Centre at 306-975-2476 and on the Report a Pothole Map, where you can view reported and completed potholes.  

Potholes that may cause injury or vehicle damage are considered an emergency. They are marked as High Priority on the Report a Pothole Map and will be addressed within 24 to 72 hours, weather permitting. Lower priority potholes will be repaired next to maintain the road network's longevity while prioritizing resident safety. 

Remember to reduce speed and watch for crews for everyone's safety. For more information about potholes and utility cut repairs, visit saskatoon.ca/potholes.
