Repairs to the wooden pedestrian bridge that provides access to Gabriel Dumont Park from Saskatchewan Crescent West have been delayed due to longer than expected shipping times for necessary structural components. The components are expected to arrive the end of May and the repair work will be completed soon after. The bridge is estimated to open approximately June 7, barring any additional unforeseen delays. 

On April 11, the Saskatoon Fire Department responded to a report of a fire in Gabriel Dumont Park and found the walkway structure in flames. Following the bridge assessment, the building engineer concluded that the fire had concentrated at the east end of the bridge. Fortunately, the fire did not significantly affect the bridge's structural capacity, and the assessment concluded the walkway bridge does not need to be replaced. Repairs to the bridge include replacement of approximately 7.5m of floorboards, railings -- including posts -- and the centre wood stringer.  

Pedestrians are asked to avoid the area and follow signage directing them to use an alternate route until the walkway is reopened.   

The Circle Drive exit ramp to Idylwyld Drive northbound will be closed on Sunday, May 12, starting at 7:00 a.m. for roadway patching. Detours will be in place guiding motorists around the work zone. This project is expected to take four hours to complete, weather permitting and barring any unforeseen circumstances.                         

Saskatoon Transit will be affected by these detours. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.
