With the last of the late-season snow melting away, the City of Saskatoon has begun its annual repair work to fix the potholes that popped up over the winter months.

While some temporary pothole fixes were performed over the winter, workers are using hot-mix asphalt for permanent repairs.

“Crews are focusing on high-traffic roads and priority areas first, before expanding into residential neighbourhoods,” the city explained in a statement.

Residents of the city are encouraged to report potholes to the city using its interactive map, or by contacting the city directly “if the issue poses a safety risk.”

“Drivers are also reminded to slow down and watch for crews working on roadways,” the city added.
