Mississauga digs into construction season

Residents and visitors can expect to see the City’s budget dollars hard at work as the City moves forward with its 2025 construction season. With an estimated budget of more than $117 million*, there are 23 new projects and eight projects continuing from 2024. This includes work on roads, sidewalks, bridges, bike lanes, trails and stormwater infrastructure. This work is essential for keeping road users moving safely and reducing the risk of flooding by managing stormwater.

Construction projects within the City’s Roads and Stormwater Capital Program focus on repairing, maintaining and expanding. This includes road resurfacing, sidewalk construction, bridge repairs, creek erosion control work and rehabilitation, and construction and maintenance of stormwater management facilities, like stormwater ponds, drainage systems and pumping stations.

Construction season highlights for 2025

Active transportation

It’s important that residents can travel actively, whether it’s by foot, bike or mobility device. The City continues to prioritize providing safe, reliable and sustainable transportation options.

Key projects include:

• Construction will begin on a multi-year project to build a new active transportation bridge in Port Credit, with new cycling facilities, pedestrian crossings and intersection improvements.
• Construction will begin on a multi-year project to widen Ninth Line (between Eglinton Avenue West and Derry Road West) to accommodate new cycling facilities.
• Improvements will be completed on the Living Arts Drive active transportation infrastructure, including intersection upgrades, enhancements to pedestrian crossings and pathways, and protected bike lanes.

Stormwater management

The City continues to do construction work to help reduce flood risk, protect property from intense rainfall and preserve waterways and wildlife. This includes maintenance of stormwater infrastructure and erosion prevention and repair along creeks and waterways.

Key projects include:

• Construction of the Doug Leavens Boulevard pumping station to reduce basement water infiltration in the Lisgar area.
• The Malton Flood Relief Project, including installation of a new storm sewer.
• Cooksville Creek improvements and flood protection, including culvert removal and installation of the new King Street bridge.
• Erosion control and rehabilitation work along Etobicoke Creek, Cooksville Creek, Sawmill Creek, Mimico Creek and Sheridan Creek.

Road resurfacing

The City’s Road Resurfacing Program involves replacing asphalt on the road and repairing curbs and sidewalks when needed. With a $30 million investment in the program this year, 72 streets are scheduled to be resurfaced.

When a street is being resurfaced, work can also take place on boulevards, sidewalks and the City’s portion of driveways. It is recommended that residents delay any renovations to their lawn or driveway, including repaving, until the work is complete. Personal items located close to the sidewalk or boulevard, such as lights, sprinklers, décor and temporary fencing, should also be removed to avoid damage. Residents will receive a pre-construction notice in the mail if their street is scheduled for resurfacing this year.

Hazel McCallion Line update

Progress is continuing on Metrolinx’s Hazel McCallion Line. Guideway and track work will continue along the corridor this year, as well as continuation of the elevated guideway over Highway 403. The southern terminus at Port Credit GO Station is advancing. For the latest updates, follow the Hazel McCallion Line on X.

Quotes

“Construction season is never easy, and I want to thank Mississauga residents for their patience and understanding as we get to work. Our crews are committed to completing this essential work with as little disruption as possible. Together, we’re building a safer, more efficient, and better-connected city. One that respects our environment, supports our growth, and meets the needs of our residents. As we move through this busy season, I encourage everyone to stay alert near construction zones, follow posted signs, and give our workers the space they need to do their jobs safely.” – Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish

“In addition to 23 new projects, we’re looking forward to the completion of several multi-year projects that will provide key network improvements and help to keep you moving how you choose. These projects include the Rathburn and Ponytrail Drive Integrated Road Project, the rehabilitation of The Collegeway, the rehabilitation of the Burnhamthorpe bridges over the Credit River, and the Goreway Drive bridge. The historic flooding that Mississauga has experienced over the last year also highlights the importance of building, expanding and maintaining our stormwater infrastructure. The City plans to invest $308 million into its Stormwater Capital Plan over the next decade, which includes construction of pumping stations, rehabilitation and dredging of stormwater management ponds, and erosion control work along our creeks. This work is intended to reduce the effects of extreme weather events and ensure your safety.” – Sam Rogers, Commissioner, Transportation and Works
