Progress Continues on Saskatoon’s
NorthShanine
Commuter
Parkway
Sealey, Martensville Messenger
With the mild weather that Saskatoon and area has been fortunate enough to have this year,
work on North Commuter Parkway Bridge in Saskatoon is moving along at a rapid pace. Motorists
will have to wait until the expected completion date of October 2018 before taking advantage of the
new connection between Saskatoon’s north end and the University Heights area of the city.
The project began last year, and is located near the intersection of Wanuskewin Road and
Marquis Drive and will connect with McOrmond Road. Once complete, the bridge is expected to
be utilized by 14,600 to 21,700 vehicles each day when it first opens and up to 40,000 vehicles
once Saskatoon’s population hits 300,000. With the amount of people taking advantage of the new
bridge, it is expected to alleviate traffic from other areas within Saskatoon, especially the Circle
Drive North Bridge.
Workers are able to build the 400 metre bridge using berms, created from rocks and dirt
in the river. Construction on the first pier of the bridge is now complete, with the second pier
nearing completion and construction on the third and fourth piers expected to begin in the spring.
Representatives from the City of Saskatoon expect that the first of four spans of the new bridge will
be built this spring, with workers continuing construction throughout the winter months. The bridge
will be comprised of three piers with a total of four spans and will have a six-lane roadway, with
pedestrian and cyclist accessibility included.
The North Commuter is part of the City of Saskatoon’s Bridging to Tomorrow project, and
once complete will mark the second tallest bridge in Saskatoon, coming in at 21.6 metres above
the river. This project also includes the new Traffic Bridge in downtown Saskatoon, which is also
expected to be complete in October 2018. The Bridging to Tomorrow project is currently the most
expensive infrastructure project to take place in Saskatoon, with plans to have the bridges built
and maintained for 30 years for $497.7 million. The project was awarded to Graham Commuter
Partners in October 2015.
