Construction on Circle Drive East begins September 28
September 25, 2026 - 2:00pm
Construction to install a new sanitary sewer and a segment of fill main on Circle Drive East is scheduled to begin Monday, September 28.
The work will take place on southbound Circle Drive East between Attridge Drive and just south of 108th Street. The sanitary sewer will support development at the University of Saskatchewan, while the fill main will support future water system expansion and resiliency.
Construction is expected to take approximately three months. A 60 km/h speed reduction will be in place in the area for the duration of the work.
Work will take place five days a week from September 28 to October 16. Beginning October 17, crews will work on alternating Saturdays as required. Crews will also work Wednesday, September 30, and will not work on Thanksgiving Monday.
Work hours will be approximately 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. (daylight hours) and may extend to 10 p.m. depending on construction requirements.
Drivers can expect traffic impacts in the area and are encouraged to plan ahead, follow posted signage and use caution when travelling through the construction zone.
Work schedules are subject to change due to weather and unforeseen circumstances.
For current road restrictions and construction updates, visit saskatoon.ca/construction.
Downtown water main work continues on 25th Street
September 25, 2026 - 10:00am
Construction continues on the Downtown Water Main Lining Project, with upcoming changes to traffic access along 25th Street East.
Beginning Monday, September 28, the closures of the 2nd Avenue and 4th Avenue intersections will be extended for approximately one week to allow crews to complete paving. During this time, there will be no access to 25th Street East from the surrounding back alleys.
The extended closures are being coordinated to avoid a full closure of 25th Street East during paving.
Once paving at 2nd Avenue is complete, the intersection will reopen. A closure at 1st Avenue and 25th Street East will then begin Monday, October 5, and is expected to remain in place for two and a half weeks.
Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead, follow posted signage and use alternate routes where possible.
