Rain creates small sinkhole in downtown Saskatoon

Saskatoon may have escaped flooding, but all the rain earlier in the week caused a small sinkhole to open in downtown.

The city said the sinkhole developed at 3rd Avenue South and 20th Street after an out of service catch basin collapsed beneath the road.

Traffic can still get through the intersection; however, turning restrictions are in place due to the location of the hole.

Repairs are scheduled for next week.

The city does not anticipate the hole to grow any larger.
