CORRECTION: Weekend detours for northbound Warman Road lane closures
August 21, 2025 - 10:00am
- Saturday, August 23 and Sunday, August 24 – from 33rd Street East to Cavers Street
- Saturday, September 6 and Sunday, September 7 – from 7th Avenue North to Circle Drive East
The City of Saskatoon will be closing the northbound lanes of Warman Road between 33rd Street East and Circle Drive East for resurfacing work. This project will be completed in two phases:
Phase one:
Phase two:
During phase one: northbound traffic will be detoured to Quebec Avenue up to Circle Drive East.
During phase two: southbound lanes will accommodate two-way traffic to maintain traffic movement.
Drivers are reminded to watch for signage and plan for possible delays, and to use the zipper merge when approaching the work zone to keep traffic flowing smoothly.
Resurfacing is done when a road develops structural or pavement issues. The process removes the existing asphalt surface and replaces it with fresh asphalt. This extends the life of the roadway and provides a smoother, safer drive.
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.

E-scooter users encouraged to ride responsibly
August 20, 2025 - 1:00pm
With e-scooters becoming a more common mode of transportation on city roads and shared pathways, remember to be a responsible and respectful rider.
Shared e-scooters have been allowed in Saskatoon since 2023. City Council voted to allow privately owned e-scooters on the public right-of-way at their May 2025 meeting.
Under the provincial regulations for limited speed motor vehicles, e-scooter users must be at least 16 years old and are required to wear a helmet.
In Saskatoon, e-scooters are permitted on streets with posted speed limits 50 km/h or less, shared-use paths, cycle tracks and protected bike lanes. Sidewalk riding is not allowed, and scooters should not be operated at a speed greater than 24 km/h.
When travelling on shared paths, riders should use a bell or horn to signal to pedestrians and cyclists. Give as much space as possible when passing.
Please ride responsibly to create a safe and enjoyable environment for all road and pathway users.
To learn more about e-scooters in Saskatoon, please visit https://www.saskatoon.ca/escooters.
