Icy street and sidewalk conditions after freezing rain and snow

Sections of Saskatoon streets are icy this morning after freezing rain, snow and freezing temperatures. Drivers and pedestrians are urged to use caution on streets and sidewalks. Morning commuters may want to leave early and adjust driving for the conditions.

City crews and sanders were out all night applying de-icing materials on Circle Drive, freeways and high traffic intersections.

Twelve sanders will be spreading de-icing materials today, focusing on Saskatoon’s highest traffic streets, bridge decks and intersections. Four sidewalk plows will be applying de-icing materials on bridge walkways.

Please watch for their blue and amber flashing lights and leave room for road equipment to do their work.
