Snow may affect morning driving conditions; Snow event clean-up begins

Morning commuters may want to leave early and use caution, as roads may be icy after more than 12 cm of snowfall.        

City crews have been working on the main lanes of Circle Drive and sanders have been applying deicing material as required, focusing on high-speed expressways, intersections, and bridge decks. Graders have been grading the major arterials overnight.   

A snow event was declared this morning with contractor assistance coming in to complete all priority street grading within 72 hours and clearing of city-maintained sidewalks, bridge walkways and pathways within 48 hours. Please watch for their blue and amber flashing lights and leave room for road equipment to do their work.  

When safe to do so, please report icy road conditions to the 24-hour Customer Care Centre at 306-975-2476. Learn about winter road maintenance at saskatoon.ca/snow.
