The City of Mississauga has announced plans to invest more than $116 million in transportation and stormwater infrastructure in 2024.

The city says it will proceed with 19 new projects this year and eight that are carrying over from 2023. Construction projects include road resurfacing, sidewalk and multi-use trail construction and bridge repairs as well as erosion control work along creeks and dredging and maintenance of stormwater management ponds and infrastructure.

“The construction work we do in Mississauga isn’t just about fixing roads, it’s about building and maintaining a great city,” said Geoff Wright, Commissioner, Transportation & Works. “Keeping our infrastructure in a state of good repair through regular maintenance helps ensure everyone’s safety, and reduces the need for emergency replacements and repairs which can be more expensive.”

The city’s road resurfacing program involves replacing asphalt on the road and repairing curbs and sidewalks when needed. This year, 51 streets are scheduled to be resurfaced.  

Work is also ongoing on Metrolinx’s Hazel McCallion Line. Track construction will continue south of Highway 403 and then south of the QEW. The southern terminus at Port Credit GO Station will continue to take shape, while construction of other platforms will also continue.

“With the milder winter we had, we were given a great head start on this year’s construction season. For example, construction work was able to continue throughout the winter on the Burnhamthorpe Road bridge. Crews were able to finish building the working platforms, remove deteriorated concrete and reconstruct a retaining wall beside the Culham Trail,” said Sam Rogers, Director, Infrastructure Planning and Engineering Services. “Several large road projects are also anticipated to be completed this year, which residents will be excited about. These include the Goreway Drive overpass bridge in Malton, the rehabilitation of The Collegeway, and the Rathburn Road and Ponytrail Drive Integrated Road Project.”
