With more spring-like temperatures finally arriving, the roads are drying up enough for street sweeping and pothole repairs.
The City of Saskatoon reports the road maintenance programs are 3 to 4 weeks behind the average year, because of late snowfalls.
Director of Roadways and Operations, Brandon Harris says Thursday was the first day of using the permanent hot-mix asphalt on the pothole repairs, now that the weather has warmed up enough to do so.
To catch up, City crews will work longer days over the next 2 weeks and through the weekend, repairing potholes.
Harris cautions that roads in general will still be bumpy and dusty on the non high priority streets for a few weeks.
City-wide residential street sweeping will begin May 7th, weather permitting.
