City crews tackling potholes with spring blitz

With the last of the recent snowfall melting, the City of Saskatoon’s annual pothole blitz is underway, with crews now using hot mix asphalt to complete more permanent, longer-lasting repairs across the city.

Warmer temperatures allow for more durable pothole repairs, following temporary fixes completed during the winter months. Crews are focusing on high-traffic roads and priority areas first, before expanding into residential neighbourhoods.

Residents are encouraged to report potholes using the City’s Report a Pothole Map or by contacting the Customer Care Centre at 306-975-2476 if the issue poses a safety risk.

Drivers are also reminded to slow down and watch for crews working on roadways. More information is available at saskatoon.ca/potholes.
