Water main repairs complete on Circle Drive

Saskatoon drivers received good news on Friday.

The city reopened the northbound lanes of Circle Drive after spending multiple days repairing water main breaks between 33rd Street and Airport Drive.

The repairs were prolonged due to further breaks occurring during the initial repair that began on Tuesday.

Crews worked Wednesday night both repairing the pipe and replacing an adjacent valve that had broken. The paving contractor arrived on Thursday afternoon to complete roadwork restoration.

The city says some of the pipes date back as far as 1962.
