Both will provide significant benefits to the citizens of Saskatoon and the province. Bridging to Tomorrow is about investing in our future for the benefit of everyone and is focussed on: Making strategic investments in public infrastructure to address the existing travel demands of our rapidly growing city and province. Having effective and efficient infrastructure that is integral to the jobs, growth, and prosperity that defines the remarkable performance of the Saskatoon economy, which is critical to the quality of life enjoyed by our citizens. Providing critical commuter connections in key areas of the city, addressing traffic congestion, reducing intersection delays, shortening travel times, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Ensuring reliable and responsive service, using strong management and fiscally responsible strategies, communicating effectively, and demonstrating innovation and creativity. Achieving our strategic goals related to continuous improvement, asset and financial sustainability, quality of life, moving around, environmental leadership, sustainable growth and economic diversity and prosperity. Achieving the planning goals for the Growing Forward! Shaping Saskatoon initiative. How will Saskatoon Transit use the bridge? Will there be dedicated lanes for buses? The bridge will be six lanes, three on each side, and able to accommodate a dedicated transit or High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane in the future if required. Project Costs and Funding Model What are the estimated project costs? The estimated capital cost of the North Commuter Parkway is $211.4 million, and the estimated capital cost to replace the Traffic Bridge is $41.2 million.

    Saskatchewan Vertical and Horizontal Clearance of Structures on the Provincial Highway System Version: December 2, 2015 IMPORTANT: Vertical clearance at structures often varies due to snow build-up or resurfacing work. The trucker is responsible for ensuring the load being hauled will safely clear structures. The attached tables are compiled to act as a guide only. Due to construction work in any given year, the clearances outlined in these tables may vary. In addition, structures may be erected and not included until the first quarter of the following year Mechanical warning devices are in place at certain locations where the structure has been damaged on several occasions. These devices do not relieve the driver or company, of the responsibility of assuring the load clears the structures involved. POSSESSION OF AN OVER DIMENSION PERMIT DOES NOT RELEIVE THE PERMITTEE FROM THE RESPONSIBILITY OF DAMAGE TO STRUCTURES, POWER LINES, TELEPHONE LINES, TELEGRAPH LINES OR RAILWAY CROSSING EQUIPMENT. If you require additional information, please call SGI, PERMIT OFFICE at: • Toll free in Saskatchewan 1-800-667-7575 • Outside of Saskatchewan 1-306-775-6969 NOTICE: The information contained in these tables refers specifically to structures owned and maintained by the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure. Every attempt is made to include structures over provincial highways within the limits of larger urban centres. However, where ownership and maintenance of these structures is the responsibility of the city, the information may not necessarily be in this spreadsheet or be up to date. Contact the Engineering Department of the respective city for detailed information. If you find any errors or omissions in this publication, please notify the Saskatchewan Highway Hotline, Road Information Services, at 306-787-2454 or fax to 306-798-0111.
