SASKATOON – Traffic restrictions are coming for Saskatoon motorists so a section of Circle Drive can be paved this weekend. Road repairs are needed following a water main break in March.
Crews have been maintaining the street while waiting for hot mix asphalt to become available.

Starting at 6:30 p.m. CT on Wednesday, all eastbound lanes on Circle Drive between 1st Avenue and Venture Crescent will be closed. Two-way traffic will be accommodated in the westbound lanes.
The area will be excavated and covered with gravel after rush hour to minimize traffic disruption.
Eastbound lanes are expected to reopen in time for the Thursday morning commute.
Paving is scheduled to take place Sunday which will require the eastbound lanes to be closed again.
The city is asking drivers to slow down, respect work zones and watch out for crews.
