Saskatoon Transit resumes service for routes across University Bridge

For immediate release: September 4, 2026 - 9:33 pm
TC26-12348

With the reopening of University Bridge and College Drive to traffic, Saskatoon Transit will resume service on Routes 16 and 4/40s across the bridge. Due to 25th Street construction, Routes 16 and 4/40s will detour onto Spadina Crescent and 24th Street.

Routes 17 and 517 will continue the current detour while the Clarence Avenue intersection at College Drive remains partially closed. Once this area re-opens, Route 17 will resume regular service and the temporary shuttle Route 517 will no longer operate. 

Some stops along College Drive will remain closed, with temporary stops in place. Riders should anticipate delays during construction detours.

Routes resumed across University Bridge:

  • Route 16: Detours via 24th Street and Spadina Crescent
    • Temporary stops added at 24th Street and 6th Avenue
  • Route 4/40s: Detours via 24th Street and Spadina Crescent
    • Temporary stops added at 24th Street and 6th Avenue

Routes affected by College Drive detours:

  • Route 17: Detours via 14th Street and Cumberland Avenue
  • Route 517: Temporary shuttle service between Clarence Avenue and Place Riel via Cumberland and 12th Street.
    • Monday to Saturday: 6 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
    • Sunday: 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop. Trip planning apps will not show temporary detours for routes affected by College Drive detours, so riders are encouraged to plan ahead.
