News Releases

Saskatoon’s Broadway Bridge is set to reopen on the evening of Saturday, November 1 following a nine-month long rehabilitation project. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, drivers, cyclists and pedestrians will once again have full access to the bridge.

“This was a major project that included deck repairs, improvements to the multi-use pathways, new asphalt, new waterproofing, new traffic barriers, arch and railing improvements and the removal of old and abandoned utilities underneath the bridge,” says Terry Schmidt, General Manager of Transportation and Construction.

One of the most significant changes has been the reconfiguration of the 4th Avenue and 19th Street intersection. To improve traffic safety and accommodate pedestrian movement, it is now a 'T' intersection.

“This intersection redesign supports future Saskatoon Transit Link plans and makes it easier for buses to navigate between Broadway Avenue and 19th Street,” Schmidt says. “The Broadway Bridge is a vital connection for our community, and these upgrades will serve all residents for decades to come.”

While the bridge and Spadina Crescent are reopening to vehicles and pedestrians, repairs will continue underneath the bridge. This work is not expected to impact traffic.

Saskatoon Transit will resume Route 8 service along Broadway Avenue once the bridge reopens. Service to temporary stops on Victoria Avenue and travel along the Traffic Bridge will end when regular service on Broadway resumes. Trip planning, service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.
