The City of Saskatoon has now offered an estimated timeline for the repairs on the overpass to be completed.
According to the city’s engineering manager, Todd Grabowski, the timeline for the repairs was extended after an additional concrete pour was determined to be needed while work was being done.

The March 5 collision was the first of four Saskatoon overpasses to be hit last month. A fifth overpass near Moose Jaw was also hit in March 2026.
