Construction on Link station platforms began in 2024 and will continue until the launch of the rapid transit system in 2028. Construction will at times require temporary closures and detours along the Link route to allow for the installation of the required infrastructure.

Saskatoon Transit may be affected by these detours. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.
