A rainy June has put some construction behind schedule in Saskatoon.
The City of Saskatoon said a few projects are one to two weeks behind, but they expect to catch up during July, August and September.
The city plans to resurface 178 lane kilometres of road in 2014 and so far have completed about 30 per cent of that.
Crews have finished 52 lane kilometres including recent projects on Circle Drive from College Drive to the Circle Drive North Bridge and on 51st Street between Faithfull Avenue and Wanukewin Road. For both of those projects, crews only worked at night.
“As a result of the night work, we have definitely seen reduced congestion and less of an impact on drivers and surrounding businesses,” Chris Hallam, director of construction and design for the city of Saskatoon, said in a release.
This week, crews are working to twin Claypool Drive. Drivers will then see resurfacing work happening 24 hours a day at the Circle Drive and Highway 16 cloverleaf intersection.
