8th Street and Broadway Avenue intersection reopens to traffic

UE22-3034

Repairs to a sinkhole that formed on Wednesday, April 20, in the South bound lanes of Broadway Avenue near 8th Street East are now complete and the roadways have reopened to traffic.

A leaky water connection pipe in the southwest corner of the intersection caused the road to collapse and is repaired now.

The repair location will remain gravel-covered until paving can be scheduled, which could be up to three weeks.

The City thanks drivers and sidewalk users for their patience during this unexpected road closure.

Lane restrictions on Circle Drive (Alberta Ave to Millar Ave) for pothole repairs begin Monday night

TC22-3036

The section of Circle Drive west of Millar Avenue to Idylwyld Drive is one of Saskatoon’s busiest streets with the heaviest industrial truck traffic. After a long, rough winter, there are a lot of potholes that require immediate attention.

Pothole patching in the eastbound lanes is planned for Monday, April 25 for three nights, outside of peak driving times, weather permitting.

Hot mix asphalt supply will be available which aligns with some warmer weather – both of which are required to do this work. Crews will focus on the largest, most impactful potholes and repair as many as possible.

Remaining westbound lane repairs will take another two evenings of work to be scheduled as this work progresses. The eastbound lanes will be repaved mid-summer.

Expect delays if you travel through this area as lanes will be significantly reduced. Road restrictions are expected to be finished before the morning commute. Thank you for your patience and cooperation while we carry out this important road maintenance.

Dirt and grime are so last season! Sweeping is underway on high-traffic streets

TC22-3035

Throughout the “great April tug-of-war” between spring and winter many of our busiest streets and Business Improvement Districts still got swept. Some days sweeping wasn’t possible due to cold temperatures and snow, but we are no further behind at this time of year than most. Sweeping continues day and night until we get to them all.

Pothole repairs are focused on the highest priority streets and we will begin using hot mix starting April 24 for durable repairs. With a lot of us on the road, please slow down and give our staff and their equipment space to work - for everyone’s safety.

Watch for yellow No Parking signs on your street:

Neighbourhood priority streets (9 affected) - May 2-8

We want people to have a street nearby to park on when they move cars for sweep day. We do this by scheduling the neighbourhood over a couple of days or sweeping the main streets (priority streets) first, so they are completed and open for parking on sweep day.

Sweeping on priority streets only within these neighbourhoods will occur May 2-8: Avalon, Dundonald, Evergreen, Greystone Heights, Grosvenor Park, Hudson Bay, Massey Place, North Park and Westview. Watch for No Parking signs and avoid a ticket.

Neighbourhood residential streets – May 9 (7 weeks, weather permitting)

All streets are swept by neighbourhood once cars are moved or towed to a nearby street. Many are split in half or thirds as they are too big to be swept in one day, and to provide alternate on-street parking spaces.

Watch for yellow No Parking signs on your street to alert you to upcoming sweeping and find your sweep day at saskatoon.ca/sweep.
