SASKATOON — Summer construction continues in Saskatoon with several areas affected by traffic disruption.
The Rock 102 Show and Shine will also result in some detours.
The next phase of the College Drive Water Main Maintenance Project starts Monday, Aug. 19. The eastbound lanes between Clarence Avenue and Wiggins Avenue will fully close with one lane for eastbound traffic in the westbound lanes. This phase is expected to take approximately four weeks to complete, weather permitting and barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Zipper merging will be required due to lane closures. Drivers are reminded to use all available lanes and take turns at the end. This will help everyone get through the work zone faster.
The College Drive Water Main Maintenance Project will be underway until October.
Fairlight Drive will be closed at 11th Street starting on Monday, Aug. 19, at 7 a.m. for construction. Detours will be in place guiding motorists around the work zone. This project is expected to take five days to complete, weather permitting and barring any unforeseen circumstances.
