Closure of On Ramp to QEW Toronto bound from South Service Road

By Construction

GHD, on behalf of the Ministry of Transportation has advised Councillor Dasko of an upcoming closure:

Please be advised that the South Service Road (SSR) on-ramp to the QEW Toronto-bound is scheduled to be closed starting the week of August 18, 2025, for a period of approximately six weeks, weather permitting.

This closure is necessary to facilitate the following construction activities:

  • Installation of Overhead Sign Structure (OHS) footings.
  • Removal of existing and installation of new noise barriers
  • Storm sewer installation (approx. 2 metres deep)
  • Grading and placement of asphalt
  • Electrical lighting
  • Other associated works

To minimize disruption, a detour route will be implemented to safely guide motorists around the closure. In addition to detour signage, Portable Variable Message Signs (PVMS) will be placed on Dixie Road, both north and south of the QEW, to provide motorists with advance notice during the closure period.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we continue to make every effort to complete the work as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us at 905-247-8730 or email: qewdixie@ghd.com.

Project 19-2215/19-1120 Lakeshore Trunk Sewer and Zone 1 Subtransmission Main project

By Construction, Resources, Ward 1

Streets affected: Lakeshore Road from Jack Darling Memorial Park to Elmwood Avenue, Wesley Avenue, Pine Avenue, Front Street North

Construction details

To support growth in South Peel and optimize the sanitary sewer collection system through the Lakeshore corridor, Peel Region is constructing a 2400mm diameter sanitary sewer and 750mm diameter watermain along Lakeshore Road, from Jack Darling Memorial Park to Elmwood Avenue.

Access the project map for overview of project.

  • Watermains are underground pipes that bring tap water from our water treatment plants to your neighbourhood. As our population grows, we need to build larger watermains to keep providing high quality water services
  • Sanitary sewers are underground pipes that carry wastewater from your home or business to a wastewater treatment plant. Wastewater is created when water goes down the drain or is flushed down the toilet. As our population grows, we need to build larger sewers to keep providing high quality wastewater services.

About the project

The new 2400mm sanitary sewer will be installed underground by a tunnel boring machine. There will be construction compounds along Lakeshore Road at Jack Darling Memorial Park, at Richards Memorial Park, on Pine Avenue, on Wesley Avenue, Front Street North (within the parking lot and Marina Park area), and the city parking lot at Elmwood Avenue. These compounds are required to insert the tunnel boring machine, mine the tunnel, install the sanitary sewer pipe, and to install access maintenance holes along the route at strategic locations for future sanitary sewer connections.

The new 750mm watermain will be installed by both open cut and trenchless methods, with the section of watermain from Shawnmarr Road to Elmwood Avenue N installed in tunnel via a microtunnel boring machine. Compounds will be required where the tunnel boring machine is being inserted underground and pipe installed.

Where the watermain is being installed within an excavation on the roadway, lane closures will be required.
