Abstract

Circle Drive from College Drive to Millar Avenue, including the Circle Drive Bridge was opened to traffic in 1983. Since the opening, the City of Saskatoon has experienced considerable growth especially with residential development in the northeast. This development has caused increased traffic demands on the existing northern section of Circle Drive including the Circle Drive Bridge. The Circle Drive Bridge is one of 5 major river crossings in the City of Saskatoon. In order to accommodate this growth, the City implemented a considerable number of improvements along the Circle Drive network. These capacity improvements have improved traffic flow, however, with each improvement; shortcomings of the remaining network became more apparent. The objectives of this project were to provide an additional lane of traffic in each direction from Millar Avenue to Attridge Drive which would complete the capacity improvements available on the Circle Drive network in this area. Challenges presented to the City in attaining this goal included: widening a major river crossing (Circle Drive Bridge); and completing the project while minimizing the impact construction would have on the traveling public.
