SASKATOON – Motorists wanting to use Saskatoon’s newest bridge are likely going to have to wait until next spring.
Mayor Don Atchison announced today that it’s unlikely the bridge will be ready until then.
“We want it done, they want it done, but it’s unlikely the Circle Drive south will be complete until next spring,” said Atchison at a news conference this afternoon.

Wet weather is being blamed for the delay along with snow and colder temperatures this month.
The contractor, Graham Flatiron Joint Venture, faces a penalty of up to $10,000-a-day for not having the project completed on time.
The infrastructure project, the largest in the city’s history, was originally scheduled to open on Sept.30.
Wet weather in May and June pushed that date back to the end of October.
City administration is expected to sit down with the Graham Flatiron to discuss any potential fines.
