Work to connect Millar to Idylwyld began in 2012.
“Marquis Drive will become a vital part of our city’s infrastructure because it gives residents a direct route to and from the city’s north end,” said Chris Hallam, Saskatoon’s director of construction and design.
The project cost around $13 million and was funded from surrounding development and industrial lot sales.
