Full closure of Melville Street for sewer construction beginning the week of August 10
August 7, 2026 - 1:30pm
Crews will begin work on the Melville Street Sanitary Trunk project beginning the week of August 10. This will mean a full closure of Melville Street at the Jasper Avenue South intersection for approximately two and a half months, although schedules are subject to change due to weather or unforeseen circumstances.
New sanitary sewer infrastructure is being installed as part of a larger effort to improve the system’s capacity and support future development in the area.
During construction, traffic restrictions will be in place and motorists should expect delays. Signage will be in place to guide motorists, pedestrians and cyclists safely through the area.
Drivers are encouraged to follow posted detours and use caution when travelling near construction zones.

Median closure at Idylwyld Drive and 71st Street intersection now in effect
August 7, 2026 - 10:00am
The median at the intersection of Idylwyld Drive and 71st Street will be closed starting at 10 a.m. Friday, August 7.
Traffic on 71st Street will be required to turn right onto Idylwyld Drive and left turns off Idylwyld Drive at 71st Street will be prohibited. This closure is expected to remain in place for approximately 3 months. The traffic signals will be adjusted to provide more time to turn left from Idywlyld Drive onto Marquis Drive. The intersections will be monitored, and additional changes may be considered to improve safety or accommodate traffic flow as required.
This median closure will last while the Biosolids project adjacent to Wanuskewin is ongoing to improve safety.
Saskatoon Transit may be affected by these detours. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.
