Construction
Construction on Saskatoon roads is inevitable every year and millions of dollars have been invested into the City's most aggressive construction program since the establishment of a $61 million annual levy in 2014. The progress map near the bottom of this page shows the significant progress that has been made toward improving the condition, safety and longevity of Saskatoon’s road network. To help reduce the impact to residents and to save on costs and improve efficiency, much of the road and sidewalk work is done in conjunction with underground utility upgrades, such as water main replacements.
On this page, you will find everything you need to know about construction underway, links to more information about larger projects, and a preview into what’s to come in the next couple of years.
