Water main project wraps up on 8th Street

There is one less traffic headache to deal with in Saskatoon.

The city announced Friday that construction has wrapped up on the 8th Street water main replacement project, ending nearly three months of misery for affected businesses.

The project, which started on June 1, replaced 705 meters of water mains under the eastbound lanes between Arlington and Preston Avenues.

Roadway and sidewalks were also completed.

The city anticipates having all the detours removed over the weekend.
