NEW ONLINE SOURCE FOR UP-TO-DATE ROAD REPAIR, MAINTENANCE & CONSTRUCTION PROGRAMS
The City of Saskatoon launched a new website today that will serve as a one-stop-shop for schedules, information and updates related to our roadway activities this year.
“With more than $50 million to be spent on Saskatoon roads this season, it will mean more construction projects, work zones and traffic detours than ever before,” says Angela Gardiner, Director of Transportation. “This site is just one of the ways drivers will be able find what they need to know about our progress and the road work that could affect their daily commutes and travel routes.”
Find the new site from the saskatoon.ca homepage by clicking “Building Better Roads.” From there, users can view updates, schedules and information on road restrictions, pothole repairs, construction projects, street sweeping, back lane upgrades, sidewalk rehabilitation, and line painting.
“With so much more road construction happening this year, we are increasing our communications to help Saskatoon residents and visitors prepare,” Gardiner says. “The site will have steady updates to schedules and display the most current road restrictions for drivers.”
“We encourage everyone to ‘know before you go’ by learning where and when road construction might affect them.”
In addition to the site, there are several other ways for people to keep up-to-date, and follow the City’s progress, through the road construction season.
