Saskatoon potholes: Crews working to repair through spring season [Video]

It’s pothole season in Saskatoon, and now that spring has fully sprung, the asphalt is finally warm enough for crews to begin work.

“A delayed spring with a late March freeze and thaw has created more cracks and potholes than usual this year. So, city crews are on pothole patrol to provide smoother and safer roadways,” the city said on Wednesday in a news release.

Starting on May 6, six city crews and four groups of contractors took to the streets to begin patching holes with hot mix asphalt.

The city says the heaviest of the repairs will take around a month to complete, followed by regular maintenance throughout the summer.

Cam LeClaire, the city’s acting roadways manager, urges people to report major cracks and potholes they find.
