Work began in the spring of 2019 in the Credit River Valley just north of Highway 403 and east of Mississauga Road; completion is anticipated in the fall of 2019.

JUST THE FACTS:

Imperial Oil will replace the pipeline segment beneath the Credit River using a horizontal directional drill.

The drill is a trenchless method of installing underground pipe using a rig at the surface level with minimal impact on the surrounding environment.

The pipeline is critical infrastructure supplying refined fuel products to people, businesses and community organizations in the Mississauga and the Greater Toronto Area, including a significant portion of product used at Toronto Pearson International Airport.

All work will take place on lands owned and/or administrated by the City of Mississauga, Infrastructure Ontario and Hydro One.

The parking lot and the Streetsville Historical Society Leslie Log House are both fully open during the construction of the new pipeline, but south of the parking lot will be closed to public access for the duration of the construction.

Editor's Note: This story has been updated as of 12:30 p.m. on May 24 to clarify that the pipe under the river is a replacement for one already there, not a new installation.
