Expressway street sweeping begins Monday, May 25
May 22, 2026 - 10:00am
The City of Saskatoon will begin overnight expressway street sweeping operations on Monday, May 25, as part of the annual Spring Sweep program.
Expressway Sweeping operations will take place in phases on portions of Circle Drive, Idylwyld Drive and associated on and off ramps, and all of the work will be conducted overnight – between the hours of 8pm and 6am. The work is expected to last approximately one month, depending on weather conditions.
This work will not require full road closures. Crews will sweep one lane at a time, meaning one lane of traffic will remain open while work is underway. Drivers should expect partial lane closures and reduced speeds in active work zones.
Street sweeping is an active work zone. Drivers are reminded to slow down to 60 km/h, stay alert and follow all signage and directions around crews and equipment.
Street sweeping removes debris and sanding material from Saskatoon roadways, helping improve safety, drainage and roadway cleanliness.
Residents can find their neighbourhood sweep date and updates at saskatoon.ca/sweep.
City of Saskatoon provides update on pothole repair operations and response efforts
May 22, 2026 - 9:30am
Members of your news organization are invited to join the City of Saskatoon for a news conference providing an update on current pothole repair operations and the City’s response to increased pothole activity this spring.
Roadways Manager Cam LeClaire will be available to speak to the information shared in the City’s recent news release, including current repair operations, staffing and contractor support, repair prioritization and the impacts of weather and freeze-thaw cycles on road conditions.
Locations where pothole crews will be working can also be provided for b-roll and photo opportunities following the news conference.
Date: Monday May 25, 2026
Time: 10 a.m.
Location: Parking lot of John Deere Building (330 Ontario Avenue)
NOTE: Media are asked to arrive no later than 5 minutes before 10 a.m.
City crews ramping up pothole repairs after weather delays
May 22, 2026 - 9:00am
Due to a higher-than-average accumulation of snowfall, as well as a high number of freeze and thaw events during the winter and spring seasons, the City’s pothole blitz was delayed. Despite mother nature getting in the way, we’re doing everything to get back on track, and the City has mobilized extra crews and contractors to accelerate completion of the repairs beginning Monday May 25.
“Since hot-mix asphalt became available for use at the start of May, City crews and contractor crews have used nearly 400 tonnes of asphalt during the pothole blitz,” says Cam LeClaire, Roadways Manager. “Our crews repair potholes year-round. In colder weather, we use gravel or recycling asphalt for temporary repairs, while hot-mix during warmer weather allows us to make more permanent repairs to maintain safety and provide a smoother ride on Saskatoon streets.”
Crews prioritize potholes in driving lanes on high-traffic streets first to address safety and mobility concerns quickly. Once these areas are addressed, crews return to repair potholes near curbs, parking lanes, and lower-priority streets.
Potholes are a common challenge in cities with freeze-thaw climates. Moisture enters small cracks in the pavement, freezes and expands, which causes the asphalt to break apart. Traffic travelling over weakened pavement can quickly enlarge these holes.
To date, more than 3,700 potholes have been reported using the City’s Report a Pothole map. Because of the high number of freeze-thaw events, this represents an increase of more than 2,000 potholes compared to the same time period in 2025. Residents reporting a pothole through the online map can also see whether the location has already been identified and is awaiting repair.
Potholes confirmed as emergencies are marked as High Priority on the online map and are addressed within 24 to 72 hours, weather permitting. Non-emergency pothole repairs are part of planned maintenance programs, ensuring the road network's longevity while prioritizing citizen safety and mobility.
Please allow 24 to 48 hours for repair completion and Map updates. Remember to reduce speed and watch for crews for everyone's safety.
Hazardous potholes or pavement cuts can be reported to our Customer Care Centre at 306-975-2476. Explore more about potholes and utility cut repairs at saskatoon.ca/potholes.
