From Monday, August 26, 2024, to Thursday, August 29, 2024, between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM, our team will be installing permanent concrete curbs and gutters between Mineola Road West and Pinetree Way. This work will result in intermittent impacts to your driveway.

Metrolinx Notice: Upcoming Construction Impacts
As construction on the Hazel McCallion Line progresses, crews will be welding tracks and doing concrete work for guideway installation within the intersection of Hurontario Street and Mineola Road. This work is scheduled to begin Thursday July 25th, 2024, at 10pm, until Wednesday August 28, 2024, at 10pm.
During this work, east-west traffic will be prohibited at Mineola Road, across Hurontario Street in each direction. Left turns will also not be permitted in the intersection.
Detours for eastbound traffic along Mineola Road are available via Woodland Avenue, Inglewood Drive, Oriole Avenue, and Eaglewood Boulevard at the new signalized intersection to cross Hurontario Street. Detours for westbound traffic along Mineola Road are available via Broadmoor Avenue, Windy Oaks, Crossfield Bend, and Eaglewood Boulevard at the new signalized intersection to cross Hurontario Street.
Transit services will be impacted by these construction works, including a detour for MiWay Route 8. Please visit www.miway.ca/updates for updates on your bus route.
In an effort to expedite the work at Mineola and Hurontario, our crews will be working continuously overnight on the intersection guideway starting Monday August 12th to Friday August 23rd. At that point, all guideway and track installation work will be within the hours of 7am to 5pm.
While we understand, this is very inconvenient to the community, this expedited effort will ensure the work is completed and the intersection will be fully open in time for the start of the new school year.
Traffic signal timings will be adjusted to keep people moving. Pedestrian crossings will be maintained at a signalized crosswalk. Please follow the signs installed to assist with navigating around the closure.
Metrolinx work related to the Hazel McCallion Line that will impact your community.
As work progresses on the Hazel McCallion LRT project, crews will be doing road widening works between Inglewood Drive and Indian Valley Trail along the west side of Hurontario Street. These works are scheduled to take place from as early as July 5 to July 31, 2024.
To safely accommodate these works, driveways for properties within this stretch will be intermittently and partially impacted between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday for up to four hours. To accommodate motorists needing to enter and exit driveways impacted during working hours, a flag person and steel plates will be used to provide immediate access to the property once the curb machine passes through.
During this time, asphalt and concrete curbs will be removed, followed by excavation, curb preparation, concrete pour, and paving. Once the roadway has been widened, guideway construction in the area can begin later this year.
Immediately impacted property owners were informed over email and hand delivered a physical notice last week. This notice has also been included in our upcoming newsletter and on Metrolinx.com.
UPDATE:
The work is now scheduled to take place from Friday, June 14, 2024 at 7 p.m. to Monday, June 17, 2024 at 5 a.m.

Crews are hard at work maintaining, repairing and expanding the city’s transportation and stormwater infrastructure.
May 28, 2024
“The construction work we do in Mississauga isn’t just about fixing roads, it’s about building and maintaining a great city. It’s vital to Mississauga’s growth and development. While construction season may cause temporary inconvenience on our roads, keeping our infrastructure in a state of good repair through regular maintenance helps ensure everyone’s safety, allows us to deliver the City services you rely on, and reduces the need for emergency replacements and repairs which can be more expensive,” said Geoff Wright, Commissioner, Transportation & Works. “I want to thank Mississauga residents for their patience and co-operation as we head into this busy season, as well as the crews and City staff who work hard to complete this critical work with as minimal disruption as possible.”
Road resurfacing
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. When a street is being resurfaced, work can also take place on boulevards, sidewalks and the City’s portion of driveways. It is recommended that residents delay any renovations to their lawn or driveway, including repaving, until the work is complete. Personal items located close to the sidewalk or boulevard, such as lights, sprinklers, décor and temporary fencing, should also be removed to avoid damage. Residents will receive a pre-construction notice in the mail if their street is scheduled for resurfacing this year.
Hazel McCallion Line update
Progress is happening 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 continue as well. For the latest updates, follow the Hazel McCallion Line on X.
Online construction map
Residents interested in learning more about the City’s construction projects can use the construction map to view all projects and who to contact if there are any questions. The construction map also provides information about projects in City parks and projects from the Peel Region, Ministry of Transportation and Alectra.
Ongoing maintenance
This time of year, residents can also expect to see City crews completing annual maintenance and cleanup work to tidy up Mississauga’s shared spaces and keep everyone moving safely. This work includes filling potholes, sweeping of collector, arterial and industrial roadways, repairing sidewalks, clearing litter and debris, and getting parks, greenspaces and trails ready for the busy season.
“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.”
With all of this ongoing work on the City’s roads, residents are reminded to be cautious when traveling near construction or maintenance work sites, adhere to all site signs and barricades and to be respectful. Please give crews and equipment space as they work.
