Please be advised that the full closure of South Service Road between Ogden Ave and Haig Blvd, previously scheduled to end on August 21, 2026, has been extended until September 4, 2026, weather permitting.
The extension is required due to multiple unforeseen utility and infrastructure conflicts encountered at the Ogden Avenue and South Service Road intersection, which have impacted the installation and activation of the permanent traffic signals. Additional time is necessary to resolve these conflicts and complete the remaining electrical work safely and efficiently.
The Contractor has coordinated the closure extension with MiWay, and MiWay has confirmed that there are no concerns with the extended closure period.
The detour route will continue to be implemented to safely guide motorists around the closure area.
We kindly request that the City and Region circulate a closure extension update to emergency and first-response services, including Fire, Paramedic, Police, and any other relevant agencies, to facilitate emergency response planning during the closure period.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation as these works are completed. For further information, please contact 905-247-8730 or qewdixie@ghd.com.
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.

Current feature: Check out the mural “Mino-nawae-indawaewin / Living in Harmony” by artist Nyle Miigizi Johnston at the Jack Darling Memorial Park construction site. It’s a beautiful reminder of our connection to the land and water we are working to protect.
