City crews addressing potholes on streets throughout Saskatoon
May 25, 2026 - 10:00am
The City of Saskatoon is reminding residents that pothole repair crews are actively working across the city as seasonal conditions allow, with extra crews and contractors to expedite work.
Drivers are reminded to use caution around active work crews and to allow additional space when travelling through repair areas.
Residents are encouraged to report potholes through the City’s Report a Pothole Map to help crews identify and prioritize locations efficiently. Reports can also be checked to confirm whether a location has already been identified.
Potholes confirmed as emergencies are marked as High Priority on the online map and are addressed within 24 to 72 hours, weather permitting. Non-emergency pothole repairs are part of planned maintenance programs, ensuring the road network's longevity while prioritizing citizen safety and mobility.
Please allow 24 to 48 hours for repair completion and Map updates. Remember to reduce speed and watch for crews for everyone's safety.
Hazardous potholes or pavement cuts can be reported to our Customer Care Centre at 306-975-2476. Explore more about potholes and utility cut repairs at saskatoon.ca/potholes.
