Repairs to traffic signal lights at Warman Road and Assiniboine Drive are now complete. Normal operations have been fully restored at this intersection.
Yesterday afternoon, a motor vehicle accident at the intersection of Warman Road and Assiniboine Drive caused considerable damage to the traffic control equipment and the concrete pad that supports it. This damage resulted in the intersection operating as a 3-way stop while crews worked to repair the concrete pad and restore the traffic control equipment.
As the world prepares to watch a new generation of the Royal Family celebrate marriage vows of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle this Saturday, May 19, we have an opportunity to look back in time to share a Saskatoon story with a connection to royalty.
“We recently digitized a – colour – film of the 1939 royal visit to Saskatoon,” says City Archivist Jeff O’Brien. “We have this one-of-a-kind treasure in the archives; with the help of social media, so many people can now experience this part of our community’s history from nearly 80 years ago.”
Earlier today, a motor vehicle accident at the intersection of Warman Road and Assiniboine Drive caused considerable damage to the traffic control equipment and the concrete pad that supports it.
Crews are working to repair the concrete pad and then restore the traffic control equipment. Due to the extent of the damage, it will take some time to reinstate signalled operation at this intersection. Until these repairs are complete, the lights will not be operational and the intersection will operate as a 3-way stop.

What you can expect from us
The City reminds residents that the provincial ban on pruning elm trees is in effect until Friday, August 31, 2018.
The ban ensures that elm bark beetles, which transmit Dutch elm disease (DED), are not attracted to the freshly pruned trees at the time when these beetles are most active. Anyone wishing to prune elm trees during the ban must obtain a permit. Please call the City’s Parks Division at 306-975-3300 for information.
The Idylwyld Drive Bridge over Ruth Street will be closed overnight on May 17, 2018 for bridge cleaning. Traffic will be detoured around the work zone using the Ruth Street exit ramps.
Bridge washing is general maintenance that takes place annually on bridges throughout the city. In the upcoming weeks, bridge cleaning will take place on Circle Drive Bridge over 8th Street East and Circle Drive Bridge over 33rd Street West.
This work usually takes a night to complete, barring unforeseen circumstances or weather delays.
