Starting April 1, crews will be completing ongoing cycles of mowing and litter cleanup along City expressways. Please slow down when driving by work zones for the safety of crews working adjacent to the expressway.  

Drivers are also reminded to cover and secure their cargo when driving on the expressway. Unsecured cargo is the main source of expressway litter and drivers can be subject to ticketing, as per Waste Bylaw 8310.   

Securing cargo is not only important for protecting your vehicle and the items that you are carrying, but it is also a critical step in helping to prevent dangerous accidents. You are encouraged to use ratchet straps, bungee cords and/or tarps depending on what you are carrying. This will help to secure your cargo, minimize litter, and help keep everyone safe on the road.  

The Circle Drive/Expressway Mowing Program consists of maintenance and upkeep of higher speed roadways around Saskatoon. This program focuses primarily on maintenance items such as: litter removal, mowing, and trimming running April 1 until October 31. The roadways included within this program are main artery highways going to and from Saskatoon, Expressways (or freeway) roads and Circle Drive (highway).  

The City thanks drivers for their cooperation.
