Circle Drive South Bridge spans the South Saskatchewan River in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada. It is a steel girder bridge, under construction as part of the Circle Drive freeway system in southern Saskatoon. At the time of construction, it was projected to cost $272.5 million to build.[1] It is presently the south most road bridge in the city, and the most recent to be built. The bridge is located near the Grand Trunk Bridge.

The Holiday Park community association is lobbying Saskatoon City Council to have the bridge named after Christopher J. Yorath, the city's first commissioner. Yorath created a comprehensive town plan in 1913, which included inner and outer "encircling boulevards". Parts of the present-day Circle Drive follows the course in Yorath's plan.[2] Yorath Island, also named for the commissioner, is located upstream from the bridge site.
