Saskatoon advises drivers to use caution while crews clear snow
Saskatoon crews have been out clearing the roads all night, the city says, with the Saskatoon police contending with more road accidents than normal.
Overnight city crews and contractors worked to clear major roads including Circle Drive, Idylwyld Drive, College Drive and Attridge Drive. They’ve also been working on de-icing bridge decks, the City said in a news release.
Crews will continue to work throughout Tuesday to clear driving lanes of emergency routes, Circle Drive and other arterial roads.
The city said there will be 28 graders, eight snow plows and 15 sanders out during the day.
The Saskatoon police said there were eight collisions on Monday between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m.
If you get into an accident, the Saskatoon police advise drivers to pull over to a safe location before exchanging information.
After the snow stops, crews will continue to prioritize Saskatoon Transit routes, double-lane streets, school zones, and streets that connect neighbourhoods. The City said they will also work to clear sidewalks of City facilities, Meewasin Trail, major route pathways, bride walkways and overpasses.
Drivers have been advised to adjust their driving for winter conditions, including slowing down and allowing more space between vehicles, the news release said.
Icy conditions should be reported to the Saskatoon customer care centre, and motorists have been asked to give city crews lots of room to do their work.
