Welcome to the public online consultation for the Ministry of Highways’ functional planning study on the Saskatoon Freeway, which runs from February 16 to March 2, 2021. We invite you to review the information, ask questions and provide feedback.

The Saskatoon Freeway is expected to be a 55-kilometre divided highway, with a minimum of four lanes, that begins at Highway 11 south of Saskatoon and connects with Highway 7 west of the city. Construction is not expected for at least 15 years.

We’ve divided this public consultation into five rooms, each with a specific focus:

1. STUDY BACKGROUND: Learn about the purpose of the study and what the design team must consider.
2. ENVIRONMENTAL AND HERITAGE CONSIDERATIONS: Discover how we’re managing environmental considerations, especially where the freeway will cross the sensitive swales area.
3. NORTH HALF CONCEPTS: Consider concepts for the northern section of Phase 2, between Highway 5 and the South Saskatchewan River.
4. SOUTH HALF CONCEPTS: Consider concepts for the southern section of Phase 2, between Highway 11 South and 8^th Street.
5. SOUTH SASKATCHEWAN RIVER BRIDGE CONCEPTS: Learn about concepts for a bridge across the South Saskatchewan River.

Your feedback will help us prepare a preferred route for Phase 2. Later this year, we’ll ask you again for additional feedback.
