Sinkhole on Broadway Avenue, road closures and detour in place

A sinkhole has formed in the South bound lanes of Broadway Avenue near 8^th Street East where City crews have been working on a water main repair this week.

Road closures are currently in place impacting the South bound lanes of Broadway Avenue and all East bound lanes of 8^th Street.

The City of Saskatoon’s Detours and Sign Shop have put in place signs and messaging for drivers to follow. Traffic is being detoured down Lorne Avenue and Victoria Avenue. These closures will be modified on Thursday, April 21, in the morning to allow for the contractor to address the sinkhole.

Drivers are asked to avoid the area of Broadway Avenue and 8^th Street, if possible, and to allow extra time if their commute takes them in this direction.

The City of Saskatoon will provide an update when road closures or detours are changed or lifted.

The City thanks citizens for their patience as the sinkhole is addressed and repaired.
