Downtown water main lining and infrastructure renewal beginning this week
June 15, 2026 - 1:59pm
Phase 1: Temporary water construction work will be starting the week of June 15 and is expected to take two weeks.
Phase 2: Replacing the water main on 4th Avenue from 24th Street to 25th Street is expected to begin the week of June 29. This will close the intersection of 4th Avenue and 24th street for approximately three weeks.
Phase 3: Installing a new storm sewer on 4th Avenue from 24th Street to 25th Street is expected to begin the week of July 13 with a tentative completion in mid-August.
Phase 4: 25th Street water main rehabilitation work will begin the week of August 3 and last for approximately 12 weeks.
The City would like to remind residents to expect traffic disruptions, as watermain, storm sewer and road rehabilitation work will begin the week of June 15, on 25th Street East from Spadina Crescent East to 1st Avenue North, as well as on 4th Avenue between 24th Street and 25th Street. This work is expected to take five months, weather permitting and subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances.
This project will be done in phases:
Temporary water service will be provided to affected properties for the duration of construction. Once temporary water lines are installed, access to roads and driveways within the work zone will be restricted, and pedestrian detours may be required to support safe movement through the area, including accessibility considerations where needed.
Traffic impacts will include one lane of traffic maintained in each direction where possible, with delays expected throughout the duration of the project. Parking will also be affected at times, with on-street and adjacent lot parking unavailable during certain stages of construction, and users will need to make alternative arrangements.
Project updates will be provided bi-weekly by email during construction. To receive updates, residents and businesses can email constructionupdates@saskatoon.ca with the subject line “Downtown WM Project” or call 306-975-2476.
Drivers are encouraged to follow posted detours and use caution when travelling near construction zones.
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.

University Bridge scheduled to reopen to traffic the week of June 29, Link work continues on College Drive
June 12, 2026 - 4:30pm
Work continues on College Drive as part of the Link project as well as the University Bridge arch rehabilitation project.
University Bridge and College Drive at Clarence Avenue are on track to re-open to two-way traffic, with one lane in each direction, during the week of June 29.
The College Drive work is proceeding on budget but has experienced early-stage delays due to weather, utility relocations and the unexpected discovery and removal of legacy underground infrastructure, including former building foundations, basements and historic trolley rails within the roadway.
Drivers are asked to follow posted detours and use caution when travelling near construction zones.
For more information about current road restrictions and construction, visit saskatoon.ca/construction. More information on Link is available at saskatoon.ca/Link.
