Drivers can expect another traffic change on College Drive next week as construction continues on the busy corridor. The city says it’s preparing to shift the two-way traffic currently flowing in the southbound lanes to the north side of College Drive. The move will require a temporary closure of the roadway between Hospital Drive and Campus Drive beginning Monday morning. The city says College Drive will be closed between Hospital Drive and Campus Drive starting at 10 a.m. on Nov. 16 while crews move eastbound and westbound traffic into newly constructed lanes on the north side of the roadway. The closure is expected to last about two hours, weather permitting. During that window, crews will work on the traffic signals, pedestrian crossings and signage. Anyone needing to get to Royal University Hospital will need to use the University Bridge or go through Clarence Avenue. The traffic changes will also affect Saskatoon Transit service. Once the work is complete, the city expects traffic to be flowing in the northbound lane with two-way traffic for the rest of the construction season.
