Beginning the week of July 27, Wanuskewin Road will be fully closed north of 72nd Street for approximately three months as crews complete open-cut pipeline installation work on the Biosolids Pipeline Corridor Project.
During this phase of work, Wanuskewin Road will be closed in both directions at 72nd Street, and there will be no access through the work zone. Drivers travelling between Saskatoon and Highway 11 will not be able to use Wanuskewin Road and will be detoured via Louis Riel Trail (Highway 11) and Idylwyld Drive.
Northbound traffic on Wanuskewin Road will be detoured at Marquis Drive, while southbound traffic from Highway 11 will be required to use alternate routes to access the city.
Access to the new development area, including Kohut Avenue, Eidem Link and Shoquist Avenue, will remain available from the south using Wanuskewin Road up to 72nd Street.
Pedestrian and cyclist pathways north of Marquis Drive will remain closed throughout this phase of construction.
Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time and follow all posted detour signage while this important infrastructure work is completed. We thank residents and commuters for their patience.
