Roadways crews work around the clock to address icy conditions caused by moisture and a drop in temperatures
The City of Saskatoon encourages drivers and pedestrians to take their time today on roads and sidewalks after a day of rain, followed by the temperature dropping below zero overnight.
23 sanders were out overnight and continue today applying de-icing material as required on bridge decks, ramps and intersections, and focusing on high traffic roads beginning with Circle Drive and freeways.
Even with the use of salt, wind combined with extra moisture and freezing temperatures may cause slippery conditions during peak driving times, especially on bridges where ice particles may be in the air above the river. Sidewalks can be slippery as well.
Slow down and watch for blue and amber flashing lights on snow maintenance equipment. Remember to leave room, at least 15 meters (2.5 car lengths), for crews to work.
