Proactive maintenance on Saskatoon roads and bridges is important to keep people moving around. The Broadway Bridge, including the multi-use pathways on both sides, is fully closed (May to October).  

About the project

• The Broadway Bridge is fully closed for rehabilitation. A full closure is the most efficient way to get the work done.
   
• This proactive project is essential in ensuring the bridge, which has an annual average daily traffic count of 20,000 vehicles, remains safe, serviceable and structurally sound for years to come. 
   
• Project cost: approximately $15.5 million.
   
• The project includes deck repairs, multi-use pathway improvements, new asphalt, new waterproofing, new traffic barriers, arch and railing improvements, and the removal of old and abandoned utilities underneath the bridge. 
   
• At the same time as the bridge work, since access to the bridge is closed anyway, water main replacements are taking place on 19^th Street, and the 4^th Avenue South and 19^th Street East intersection will be reconfigured for overall safety and to improve the efficiency of buses travelling between Broadway Avenue and 19^th Street - a future Link route. This work will result in a safer crossing for all modes of transportation (pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, etc.)
   
• The right northbound flow-through lane is being removed, and the intersection is changing into a “T” intersection. Traffic signals are being relocated, pedestrian signals are being added, and the island and centre medians are being removed.
   
• The contractor, Julmac Contracting Ltd., is working 24/7 on the bridge. Typically, night work involves debris clean-up and other tasks that are low noise levels. It is in the contract to keep noise levels to typical traffic background noise during off-peak hours. Peak hours are 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on weekdays and 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Sundays and statutory holidays.
   
• Throughout construction, pedestrian access to Meewasin Trail is being maintained via scaffolding tunnels under the bridge. Friendship Park is open, with fencing adjacent to the bridge. Spadina Crescent between the bridge and 3^rd Avenue South is closed. The boat launch is open and accessible via Spadina Crescent from 20^th Street East. 
   
• Full closures include the Broadway Bridge (including multi-use pathways), Broadway Avenue from Saskatchewan Crescent East to 20^th Street East, 19^th Street East from 3^rd Avenue South to Broadway Avenue, and 4^th Avenue South from 19^th Street East to 20^th Street East. 
   
• At the same time as the Broadway Bridge Rehabilitation Project, four Link stations will be constructed on Broadway Avenue over approximately four weeks (exact timeline to be determined). The work will include partial lane closures on Broadway Avenue as concrete pads are poured. 
   
• Saskatoon Transit is affected by these projects, with some Broadway Avenue, Victoria Avenue and Downtown routes being redirected. Keep an eye on Transit service alerts and real-time bus information available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit.

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.
