Melville Street was slated to reopen early this week after being closed since mid-August for sewer construction, but the City of Saskatoon now says it will remain closed until November 7th.

The advisory from the City says the opening of Melville Street between Lorne Avenue and Portage Avenue has been delayed due to unspecified, “unforeseen circumstances.”

The area is a direct conduit to the businesses in the CN Industrial area including the SARCAN on Jasper Avenue. An alternate route using Portage Avenue from the east side of the CN Industrial area is available.
