Saskatoon Overpass Strikes Keep Piling Up | Winnipeg News

Another oversized load disaster hit Saskatoon Friday when a semi hauling a grain bin got stuck under the 51st Street overpass, causing hours of traffic chaos. This marks the fifth overpass collision this year — and the city’s frustration is mounting. Just months ago, a similar incident with an excavator cost nearly $300,000 in repairs and led to a lawsuit against the trucking company. Authorities are still investigating the latest crash, but they’re urging drivers to reroute to avoid gridlock. These repeated strikes underscore a growing problem: oversized vehicles failing to clear bridge height limits — costing taxpayers dearly and disrupting daily commutes.
