University Bridge and College Drive reopen for vehicle traffic

The University Bridge, southbound Clarence Avenue turning off the Bridge and the south lanes of College Drive between Clarence Avenue and Hospital Drive are now open to traffic. There are currently two lanes of traffic, one in each direction, on College Drive from the University Bridge to Hospital Drive.

Here’s what to expect as the area reopens:

College Drive: East of Hospital Drive, traffic will continue using the two south lanes, with one lane in each direction, through to Cumberland Avenue.

Saskatchewan Crescent: The exit from University Bridge to Saskatchewan Crescent will remain closed.

University Drive: The section between Elliott Street and College Drive will be closed.

Wiggins Road: The north section into the University of Saskatchewan campus will be open on a right-turn-in, right-turn-out basis. Left turns from College Drive onto Wiggins will not be permitted.

Wiggins Avenue south of College Drive: This section will remain closed to vehicles but open to pedestrians and other active transportation. Pedestrians and cyclists can cross College Drive at the Wiggins intersection and are encouraged to use available active transportation routes while following posted signage.

25th Street: Construction will continue, with lane restrictions remaining along 25th Street leading to the bridge, including the continued closure of the 4th Avenue and 25th Street intersection.

Pedestrian walkways: Pedestrian access will continue to be available on the south side of the University Bridge, while the north side remains closed.

Work continues on the project to re-open Clarence Avenue and Saskatchewan Crescent in the coming days.

Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead, follow posted signage and use caution when travelling through the construction zone. Saskatoon Transit routes will continue to be impacted by construction with detours and temporary bus stops. Visit saskatoontransit.ca for details.

Your patience has been appreciated as crews have worked to improve vital infrastructure that will continue to serve Saskatoon for years to come.
