SASKATOON – A construction grader that has been submerged in the South Saskatchewan River since July 2 has finally been removed.
It took a couple of tow trucks but the grader was recovered on Monday afternoon.
About two weeks ago, a subcontractor was working along the east riverbank by the new Circle Drive South Bridge when the grader slid into the water.
H was able to safely jump from the grader before it became completely submerged.
When it went under, the river was flowing at 1500 cubic metres per second and crews had to wait until it was safe to remove the equipment.
