The city of Saskatoon’s Circle Drive North Bridge construction is bringing up the topic of zipper merges in the community.
Tyler McMurchy, a spokesperson with SGI, likens the merge to a fast food restaurant double lane drive-thru, saying it keeps a larger volume of traffic moving through in a smooth and efficient manner.

McMurchy adds issues arise when drivers don’t use both lanes, and people shouldn’t think of the merge as jumping the queue.
The nine-month-long rehabilitation project on the bridge began on Feb. 28.
