Construction

To see where construction is happening on Saskatoon's main thoroughfares today, check out the Daily Road Report.

Significant road projects that remain underway include:

• Broadway Bridge full closure for rehabilitation - expected completion in late October
• 8th Street East between Brighton Boulevard and McOrmond Drive - new road construction ongoing
• Link platform construction - various locations - go here to see where.

Saskatoon’s Broadway Bridge is set to reopen on the evening of Saturday, November 1 following a major rehabilitation project. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, drivers, cyclists and pedestrians will once again have full access to the bridge.

This was a major project that included deck repairs, improvements to the multi-use pathways, new asphalt, new waterproofing, new traffic barriers, arch and railing improvements and the removal of old and abandoned utilities underneath the bridge.

One of the most significant changes has been the reconfiguration of the 4th Avenue and 19th Street intersection. To improve traffic safety and accommodate pedestrian movement, it is now a “T” intersection. This intersection redesign supports future Saskatoon Transit Link plans and makes it easier for buses to navigate between Broadway Avenue and 19th Street.

The City of Saskatoon recognizes that construction could be completed faster and reduce traffic impacts if crews worked at night or around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, there are some reasons why work cannot always take place after regular daytime working hours.

1. Noise Bylaw
   • Sounds caused by various types of City initiated construction are exempt from the Noise Bylaw (see 7 f), however, the City tries to avoid night and 24/7 work in areas that are close to or have the potential to create a nuisance to residential areas.
      
2. Cost and Schedule Impacts
   • Night work and/or 24/7 work tends to come at a cost premium.
   • Road resurfacing after regular working hours, for example, can cost more than daytime road resurfacing.
      
3. Traffic Consideration
   • The City does perform night work on selected arterial and expressway projects that don’t necessarily impact residential areas. This helps reduce delays in these high traffic areas during the daytime.
      
4. Workforce Challenges
   • Many of the City’s contractor partners are not set up for night or 24/7 work.
   • Until the City or others procure a steady source of 24/7 work, it is unreasonable to expect contractors to adjust and be able to staff this work without a significant cost impact for things like overtime.
      
5. Safety Impacts
   • Night work is inherently dangerous due to the visibility and elevated risk of encountering impaired drivers.
   • There is a requirement to provide a specified level of lighting on these sites, which is costly.
