Councillor Dasko has received the following notice from the Ministry of Transportation and GHD, their contractor:
Please be advised that the South Service Road between Ogden Avenue and Haig Boulevard is scheduled to be fully closed starting the week of August 04, 2025, for a period of approximately 3 weeks, weather permitting, to facilitate road reconstruction works. Due to the limited roadway width, a one-lane closure with flagging is not feasible, as there is insufficient space to safely accommodate both construction activities and live traffic. A full closure is therefore required to complete the work safely and efficiently.
To minimize disruption, the attached detour route will be implemented to safely guide motorists around the closure.
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.
Welcome to the first edition of the Lakeshore Trunk Sewer and Watermain Project Newsletter. This quarterly newsletter will provide updates on project progress, upcoming activities construction photos.
About the project
Peel Region is building a new large sanitary sewer and installing watermain along Lakeshore Road, from Jack Darling Memorial Park to Elmwood Avenue. This multi-year construction project is a necessary investment that will support the long-term needs of the community and provide the following benefits:
Ready for growth: Larger pipes mean the system can easily support new homes and businesses in South Peel.
Better flow: Water and sewage will move through the system more smoothly and efficiently.
Reliable service: Ensures a steady, high-quality water supply for your home or business with fewer interruptions.
A stronger system: New infrastructure is more durable and less likely to break or fail during storms.
Cost Savings: By replacing 7 old pumping stations with this new gravity-based sewer pipe, Peel saves money on expensive long-term operations and maintenance costs.
For more information on this project, and related projects in the area, please watch our presentation from the project Open House held in April.

Construction progress
Since the project began in October 2025, crews have completed the following work:
Located existing underground utilities such as hydro and gas at multiple key areas along the length of Lakeshore Road.
The shaft (also known as a tunnel access point) at Jack Darling Memorial Park has been completely dug and we are preparing the area for our tunnel boring machine to start tunneling this summer. We are about 45 meters underground here!
The tunnel access point at Richard’s Memorial Park is fully dug. We are 34 meters deep!
The tunnel access point on Pine Avenue South is currently being dug.
The tunnel access point at Elmwood Avenue in the public parking lot on the Northeast corner of Elmwood and Lakeshore has begun. We are drilling concrete piles in the ground that will provide ground support to access the tunnel deep into the ground.
We have postponed our start at the Front Street North – Marina Park construction compound. We expect to start back here this summer.

What’s next in 2026
We will bring our tunnel boring machine to site and tunneling will begin once our tunnel access point is ready at Jack Darling Memorial Park.
The contractor will begin excavating at the Marina Park/Front Street North site once the compound has been set up this summer.
We will complete digging the shafts at our construction compounds along Lakeshore Road and begin the tunnel boring process.
We will begin open cut construction of our new watermain on Lakeshore Road. This differs from tunneling as it involves digging a trench, laying the pipe then filling in the trench. The areas of open cut construction are indicated in the map at the top of the newsletter.
Traffic, transit and trail impact
As the project continues, you will see:
Lane reductions on Lakeshore Road West
Temporary road closures and detours
Temporary closure of municipal parking lots at Elmwood Avenue North, Wesley Avenue and Front Street North
Bus stop relocations
Sidewalk detours
Please follow posted signage and allow for extra travel time. Details on specific locations and timings will be available as the construction progresses.
Park impact
Jack Darling Memorial Park Leash-Free Zone: Access to leash-free areas will change while we set up our work zones. We will send out notices ahead of time to let you know what to expect and when to expect it.
Marina Park – Front Street North: Marina Park North, the parking lot, and the sidewalk on the east side of the roadway will be temporarily closed once we have our construction site set up on the east side of the boulevard on Front Street North.
Lakeshore Road West Trail: The multi-use trail on the south side of Lakeshore Road West is currently rerouted around the construction sites at both Jack Darling and Richard’s Memorial Parks. For safety, please follow the posted signage.
Safety reminder
Don’t enter fenced construction areas
Obey all signage and traffic personnel
Keep children and pets clear of work areas
Use designated pedestrian routes
Community spotlight: Art on the construction walls
Keep an eye out for some local flair. We’ve partnered with Mississauga Art Council to brighten construction sites with local artwork.

The City is investing more than $170 million in its transportation and stormwater system this construction season.
City services | June 18, 2026
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.
Clarke Hall will be undergoing important restoration and repair work beginning in early May.
This project will help preserve the building’s heritage character while addressing key infrastructure needs.
The scope of work for this project includes the following:
Heritage restoration of windows and masonry walls
Replacement of the main front exterior stairs and two (2) rear exterior exit stairs
Replacement of electrical panels and disconnect switches
Structural repairs to the building foundations
The contractor is scheduled to mobilize in early May. All work associated with this project is anticipated to be completed by the end of fall.
To accommodate foundation and stair work, the following building entrances will be temporarily closed:
North front entrance: Closed from May to mid-August
The southwest entrance will be used as the alternate access during this period.
The sidewalk in front of the building will also be closed, with signage in place to redirect pedestrian traffic.
Rear south exit stairs: Closed from mid-August to mid-October
Access to the building for existing bookings will be maintained at all times; however, booking capacity will be restricted during construction due to ongoing work at building entrances and exits. Recurring weekly bookings already in place will continue to operate from the facility.
Communications by the Recreation team to existing bookings/user groups have gone out via email and telephone to inform them about the construction project. Additionally, Recreation will continue to communicate out to existing bookings/user groups during construction the exact entrance closure dates and Construction Fire Safety Plan.
The Recreation team will redirect any additional or special event bookings requiring larger capacities to nearby facilities for the duration of the construction period. Full, normal-capacity bookings are expected to resume starting November 2026.
