AIRPORT ROADWAYS PARTIALLY REOPEN TODAY: EXTENSIVE ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS COMPLETE

Today, Saturday, November 8 the City is reopening Airport Drive between Claypool Drive and 45^th Street, as well as 45^th Street West between Airport Drive and Aerogreen Road.  

Some of the extensive improvements to the roadways surrounding the Saskatoon Airport in 2014 include:

·  Widening Airport Drive north of 45th Street to create a double lane;

·  Widening Airport Drive from south of 45th Street West to Cynthia Street to allow for better traffic flow;

· Widening 45th Street West where it approaches Airport Drive to allow for better traffic flow.  

Please note: Airport Drive’s southbound curb lane north of 45^th Street will remain closed for a few more days to allow for lighting installation work.

Restrictions will be lifted as indicated, weather permitting and barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Slow down, pay attention and respect work zones. Watch for pedestrians and work crews, and for everyone’s safety, please obey all detours, signs and barriers.

Know before you go! Plan your route around road work by checking our Road Restrictions and Construction Projects interactive map. Find traffic detour information on our saskatoon.ca homepage or subscribe to our Traffic Detour Service Alerts.
