Update: City crews have begun repairing the water main which has been causing traffic problems for northbound Circle Drive between 33rd Street and Airport Drive. It’s expected the repairs will be done tomorrow (Wed), but there is no estimate from the City at this time as to when. Homes and businesses west of Circle Drive and south of Airport Drive may notice lower-than-normal water pressure.

The water main break happened yesterday (Mon) afternoon. Last night the City said in a news release that crews were completing the emergency utility locates before beginning the repair on the water main.

If you are heading towards the airport using Circle Drive coming up from south Saskatoon going through Confed – you can’t get past 33rd.

There was a watermain break on Circle Drive at 33rd Street late yesterday afternoon. The City of Saskatoon says it caused a substantial washout in the road on Circle Drive northbound and all northbound lanes are closed. Traffic is being detoured to the 33rd Street off-ramp. You could head down 33rd and up Avenue C to get back on Circle Drive or double back through Hampton Village but you cannot get through.

Southbound lanes may also be restricted as crews wrap up overpass deck washing with traffic re-routed over the 33rd street overpass and back onto Circle Drive South. However, that work is to be complete by 7 a.m. Tuesday.

In a news release, the City says crews are completing the emergency utility locates and will return this morning to repair the water main. Homes and businesses west of Circle Drive and south of Airport Drive may notice lower than normal water pressure. Airport Industrial and Montgomery Place will not be affected.
