The massive crack on Saskatchewan Crescent East is dropping deeper as days pass.

It is located between 16th and 17th streets, near the east end of the University Bridge.

On Wednesday morning, the sloped section of the road sat at about three metres deep.

Road closure continues to all traffic along Saskatchewan Crescent East near the slump. The crack also closed a portion of the Meewasin Valley Authority trails and the sidewalk along the east riverbank.

The city said a design solution for the area won't be developed until the end of May, with construction to fix the slope not starting until September.
