Construction season ramps up across Mississauga

The 2026 construction season has begun. Residents and visitors will see crews at work across Mississauga, improving public spaces and systems people rely on. The City plans to spend about $170 million on more than 30 new projects and seven ongoing projects from 2025. Crews will repair and maintain existing roads, bridges and trails. They will also work to restore creeks and stormwater ponds. Some new projects will also begin, such as building a new pumping station, traffic signals and cycle paths. This work will help keep roads, bridges and other city spaces in good shape and ready for future growth.

Mississauga’s infrastructure includes things you can see, like roads, sidewalks and bridges. It also includes less obvious things, such as stormwater pipes and traffic signals. These projects help support daily life and activities in Mississauga.

2026 construction season highlights

Getting around safely

The City wants people to travel safely, whether you drive, bike, walk or use a mobility device. Mississauga continues to invest in safe and reliable ways to get around.

Key projects include:

• Upgrading traffic signals at Confederation Parkway and Square One Drive.
• Adding a new left turn lane and signals, and general repairs to an intersection on Winston Churchill Boulevard.
• Repairing the Aquitaine Avenue pedestrian bridge and retaining wall.
• Adding new multi-use paths and boulevard cycle tracks across Mississauga at several locations.
• Repairing sidewalks and adding tactile plates (raised surfaces) at intersections.

Flood mitigation

The City is working to reduce flooding, protect public spaces and neighbourhoods and keep wildlife safe. This includes maintaining systems that control rainwater and fixing soil erosion areas.

Key projects include:

• Building a new pumping station on Osprey Boulevard.
• Dredging and restoring ponds at Dixie and Tomken Transitway, Osprey Marsh, Silken Laumann and Britannia Road and Central Parkway Station.
• Fixing erosion along Cooksville, Credit River, Etobicoke, Mimico and Sawmill creeks.
• Repairing the bridge at Burnhamthorpe West over Mullet Creek.

Road resurfacing, repairs and widening

A major road widening project will also start in 2026 on Ninth Line. The road will be widened to four lanes, with new sidewalks, drainage and bike lanes.

The City’s Road Resurfacing Program includes replacing asphalt and repairing curbs and sidewalks when needed. This year, the City is resurfacing 38 roads, totalling almost 21 kilometres.

When a street is being resurfaced, crews may also work on nearby sidewalks, boulevards and City-owned parts of driveways.
