Mississauga completes $55M road works in 2022
The City of Mississauga has wrapped up its 2022 road construction season with a total spend of $55 million.
Over the year, construction crews performed work on a wide variety of projects to enhance public safety, restore aging infrastructure and prevent flooding.
“Mississauga’s residents have seen the City’s budget hard at work as we moved ahead with another busy construction season over the past year. We continue to make sound investments in our infrastructure, including the roads, bridges, sidewalks and sewers that our community uses every single day,” said Mayor Bonnie Crombie. “Continued investments in infrastructure construction and maintenance are essential to Mississauga’s future as we continue to grow and mature into a thriving economic hub in Ontario”
Highlights of the city’s 2022 program include:
- resurfacing work on six major roads and 55 residential roads for a total of 27.4 kilometres,
- the installation of six kilometres worth of multi-use trails and cycle tracks,
- construction of more than six kilometres of new sidewalks,
- road improvements along Mississauga Road (north of Seven Oaks Drive), including road widening and adding new curbs, sidewalks, median islands, top asphalt and pavement markings, and
- the restoration of three bridges.
Major construction work also occurred on the Hurontario corridor, between the Port Credit GO Station and Highway 407.
Significant progress was also made on the Hurontario Light Rail Transit Project, including the start of track installation, the elevated guideway over Highway 403, a new underpass at the QEW and ongoing utility relocations.
Estimated for completion in late 2024, the light rail line will transform Mississauga’s transit system and further connect residents and businesses along this corridor.
