Mississauga Digs Into Construction Season

Residents and visitors can expect to see the City’s budget dollars hard at work as the City moves forward with its 2025 construction season. With an estimated budget of more than $117 million*, there are 23 new projects and eight projects continuing from 2024. This includes work on roads, sidewalks, bridges, bike lanes, trails and stormwater infrastructure. This work is essential for keeping road users moving safely and reducing the risk of flooding by managing stormwater.

Construction projects within the City’s Roads and Stormwater Capital Program focus on repairing, maintaining and expanding. This includes road resurfacing, sidewalk construction, bridge repairs, creek erosion control work and rehabilitation, and construction and maintenance of stormwater management facilities, like stormwater ponds, drainage systems and pumping stations.

Construction season highlights for 2025

Active transportation

It’s important that residents can travel actively, whether it’s by foot, bike or mobility device. The City continues to prioritize providing safe, reliable and sustainable transportation options.

Key projects include:

  • Construction will begin on a multi-year project to build a new active transportation bridge in Port Credit, with new cycling facilities, pedestrian crossings and intersection improvements.
  • Construction will begin on a multi-year project to widen Ninth Line (between Eglinton Avenue West and Derry Road West) to accommodate new cycling facilities.
  • Improvements will be completed on the Living Arts Drive active transportation infrastructure, including intersection upgrades, enhancements to pedestrian crossings and pathways, and protected bike lanes.

Stormwater management

The City continues to do construction work to help reduce flood risk, protect property from intense rainfall and preserve waterways and wildlife. This includes maintenance of stormwater infrastructure and erosion prevention and repair along creeks and waterways.

Key projects include:

  • Construction of the Doug Leavens Boulevard pumping station to reduce basement water infiltration in the Lisgar area.
  • The Malton Flood Relief Project, including installation of a new storm sewer.
  • Cooksville Creek improvements and flood protection, including culvert removal and installation of the new King Street bridge.
  • Erosion control and rehabilitation work along Etobicoke Creek, Cooksville Creek, Sawmill Creek, Mimico Creek and Sheridan Creek.

Road resurfacing

The City’s Road Resurfacing Program involves replacing asphalt on the road and repairing curbs and sidewalks when needed. With a $30 million investment in the program this year, 72 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.
