News Releases

Environment and Climate Change Canada is forecasting freezing rain beginning Saturday evening and continuing throughout the night and turning into snowfall on Sunday. City crews are fully prepared to manage the road conditions.

Roadway crews with 10 graders, 6 plows and 18 sander units with de-icing treatments will maintain priority streets starting with Circle Drive and expressways as well as on and off ramps and bridge decks and will continue to maintain city streets as long as the weather persists.

With freezing rain, snow and subzero temperatures in the forecast, road conditions can become dangerous. Drivers are encouraged to adjust to winter conditions, keeping a safe distance from other vehicles.

Please give road equipment the space they need to operate, signaled by their blue and amber flashing lights.

For more information on winter road maintenance, visit saskatoon.ca/snow.

Restrictions on the Circle Drive westbound lanes between Idylwyld Drive and Avenue C have been lifted following the completion of unplanned fire hydrant repairs earlier today. 

Additionally, the northbound curb lane of Circle Drive under 108th Street is set to reopen today. The lane was closed for an overpass inspection on Wednesday after it was struck by an oversized load.

*This report includes road restrictions on Priority 1 (high traffic, high speed) streets only.
