Construction
Construction season is short, so the City of Saskatoon always has a full slate of road, bridge, overpass, sidewalk and water main replacement work to complete every year. Information about some of the major projects planned for 2022 are listed below under the "Current Road, Bridge, Overpass Construction" and "Current Water Main Replacement Projects" tabs.
You can see tentatively planned areas of infrastructure work between now and 2023 by viewing the Asset Preservation Interactive Map. To learn about the City's road maintenance, and water and sewer programs, visit the links located within the right column of this page.
