City crews and winter equipment ready for freezing rain

Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued a freezing rain warning for Saskatoon. Freezing rain is expected to end later today and turn into snow.

Freezing rain is anticipated to cause slippery conditions and visibility issues on Saskatoon streets. Drivers and pedestrians are urged to use caution on the streets and sidewalks.

Sanding trucks will be focusing on applying de-icing materials to Circle Drive, freeways, high traffic streets, bridge decks and intersections throughout the day and into the evening. Please watch for their blue and amber flashing lights and leave room for road equipment to do their work.
