Saskatoon Bridge Delayed Again | Winnipeg News

Saskatoon’s University Bridge remains closed to regular traffic despite multiple reopening delays, now restricted to emergency vehicles only as crews tackle unexpected damage and safety upgrades. Originally planned for single-lane, two-way traffic, the city pivoted to dedicate one full lane to ambulances, fire trucks, and police after consultations with health authorities — a move designed to avoid gridlock during critical medical transport. The discovery of “greater than anticipated concrete loss” in the archway has added $213,000 to the project’s total cost, now sitting at $1.7 million. While repairs are expected to wrap by mid-to-late September, no firm date has been set for full public access — leaving commuters and cancer patients, who rely on the Cancer Agency shuttle, scrambling to plan ahead.
