Peel Region is improving water mains and sanitary sewers near Square One on Burnhamthorpe Road, Duke of York Boulevard, Hurontario Street and various streets around Mississauga City Centre.

Just the Facts

Work crews are installing approximately 12 kilometres of water and sanitary pipes with tunnelling, trenchless technology and open-cut trenching to support growth in Mississauga.

The work must be done now, before construction begins on the Light Rail Transit (LRT) project.

The Hurontario LRT will be 18 kilometres of lines, connecting Mississauga and Brampton. The Hurontario LRT will create a transit grid in the Western Greater Toronto Area by linking the existing east-west corridors such as GO train and GO bus lines, Mississauga Transitway, MiWay and Brampton Transit routes.

After the region excavated the shaft last year, crews reduced the size of the compound area on Webb Drive at Duke of York Boulevard. The micro tunnel boring machine is now making its way under Duke of York Boulevard and is nearly at Webb Drive.

Work in the Mississauga City Centre will be completed by 2020.

In the meantime, the region is asking motorists to drive carefully through the work zone and use proper cross walks when crossing Webb Drive.
