REMINDER: BRIDGE MAINTENANCE ON IDYLWYLD DR OVER 19TH ST BEGINS SEPT 14

As part of the City of Saskatoon’s bridge maintenance program, crews will begin repairs to the Idylwyld Drive over 19th Street overpass this Monday, September 14. The work is expected to last approximately five weeks, weather permitting.

The project was designed to minimize the impact to drivers and to ensure traffic continues to move on and under the overpass. The work will be carried out in two phases:

Phase 1 Concrete Repairs – approximately 2-3 weeks (24-hour restrictions)

• Idylwyld Drive over 19th Street southbound curb (outside) lane will be closed
• 1st Avenue under Idylwyld Drive southbound curb (outside) lane will be closed

Phase 2 Expansion joint seal replacements – approximately 2 weeks (night restrictions only, 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.)

• Alternating full closures of one of the following:
  • Idylwyld Drive northbound over 19th Street
  • Idylwyld Drive southbound over 19th Street
  • 1st Avenue northbound ramp over 19th Street

Access to Sid Buckwold Bridge will be maintained at all times, however, drivers should expect delays.

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.
