Construction of Saskatoon's [[beltway|ring road]], [[Circle Drive]], began in the mid-1960s (after first being proposed in 1913), and was completed on July 31, 2013, with the opening of the $300 million South Circle Drive project.<ref name=southbridge>[http://www.canada.com/saskatoonstarphoenix/story.html?id=1feb4038-f559-4b76-b901-cec60df57314 Saskatoon's south bridge finally becoming a reality] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160104212838/http://www.canada.com/saskatoonstarphoenix/story.html?id=1feb4038-f559-4b76-b901-cec60df57314 |date=January 4, 2016 }}, Saskatoon StarPhoenix, June 20, 2008.

==== Rail ====
The [[Canadian Pacific Railway]] and the Canadian National Railway have connections to Saskatoon. Both railways operate [[Intermodal freight transport|intermodal facilities]] and trans-load centres; while Canadian National Railway also operates an automotive transfer facility.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://proximityissues.ca/Maps/RAC-2004-Saskatoon.pdf |title=Proximity Railway Map for Saskatoon |access-date=2011-05-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110525081353/http://www.proximityissues.ca/Maps/RAC-2004-Saskatoon.pdf |archive-date=May 25, 2011 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}</ref> Saskatoon is a stop on [[The Canadian]] passenger transcontinental rail route operated by [[Via Rail]]. The [[Saskatoon railway station]] is in the city's west end; it opened in the late 1960s as a replacement for Saskatoon's [[Saskatoon station (Canadian Pacific Railway)|original main station]] which was on 1st Avenue downtown—the relocation of the station sparked a major redevelopment of the downtown that included the construction of the [[Midtown Plaza (Saskatoon)|Midtown Plaza]], [[TCU Place]] (originally named the Centennial Auditorium) and other developments. The many provincial transportation connections and geographic location of Saskatoon give it one of its nicknames ''The Hub City''. The [[Saskatchewan Railway Museum]] is just outside the city. In the early 2000s, talk about moving all the railways out of the city raised questions about a future [[Light rail|LRT]] system, but the city's then-Mayor said the population is too small.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.canada.com/saskatoonstarphoenix/news/local/story.html?id=b07f13b1-fe92-4c00-98c3-8f32c0b87cc4&p=1 |title=Experts say early move to LRT wise |date=May 24, 2008 |work=The StarPhoenix |publisher=Canada.com |access-date=February 1, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110827062046/http://www.canada.com/saskatoonstarphoenix/news/local/story.html?id=b07f13b1-fe92-4c00-98c3-8f32c0b87cc4&p=1 |archive-date=August 27, 2011 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}</ref> The Canadian Pacific rails in particular run close to the city centre, with at-grade crossings with the main throughfares at 3rd Avenue/Warman Road, Idylwyld Drive, 22nd Street, Avenue H, 20th Street, and Avenue P. As of the city's ''2021 Transportation Study,'' there seems to be no progress on improvements to the railway network around Saskatoon.<ref>{{Cite web |title=2021 Transportation Study |url=https://www.saskatoon.ca/sites/default/files/documents/transportation-utilities/transportation/planning/transportationmasterplan_2021.pdf |page=30}}</ref>
