University Bridge and Spadina Crescent below the bridge in Saskatoon have fully reopened after a fire started under the bridge on Wednesday morning.
Walkways on the bridge have reopened in the morning and drivers were given access later in the day.
The Saskatoon Fire Department confirmed the fire started from a mattress on top of the archway under the bridge in an abandoned encampment. The flames spread to an exposed wooden bridge deck, making up most of the fire.
City crews were forced to drill into the bridge through the road surface to put out hot spots.
The city announced on Thursday morning that the bridge is likely to reopen for motorists in the late afternoon.
The city was repairing the drilling holes and said it does not damage the structural integrity of the bridge.
