8th Street and Broadway Avenue intersection reopens to traffic
April 24, 2022 - 7:11am
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
April 22, 2022 - 11:47am
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.
