The City of Saskatoon has reopened the University Bridge to traffic in time for the evening commute today, June 22. A full closure of the bridge was put in place late yesterday morning in response to a fire underneath the structure on June 21.  Repairs to the bridge following yesterday’s fire were completed earlier this afternoon. 

Transit service has resumed normal operations on Routes 4, 43, 44, 45, 46 and 6. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.         

We thank everyone for their patience and cooperation while Saskatoon Fire Department and City crews performed this necessary work.
