City officials are providing a bird’s-eye view — or, more accurately, a drone’s-eye view — of ongoing work as Mississauga’s $170-million construction season kicks into high gear with nearly 40 projects on the go.
Some 30 new initiatives and another seven major jobs continuing from 2025 are part of the lineup this construction season, which began in June and will continue into December, the City of Mississauga said earlier.
At least one big project has been completed as a new pumping station in the Lisgar community in northwest Mississauga began operating in recent weeks.
Restoring creeks and stormwater ponds, repairing bridges, sidewalks, trails and intersections, and resurfacing dozens of roads are also part of the current construction season as are new projects that include installation of traffic signals and cycle paths.
An aerial video (see below) posted by the city on Wednesday offers a quick look at some of the work that’s going on across Canada’s seventh-largest city.
Residents will continue to see crews in many neighbourhoods doing jobs to “improve public spaces and systems people rely on,” city officials said, adding much of the necessary work also comes with associated traffic delays.
“This work will help keep roads, bridges and other city spaces in good shape and ready for future growth.”
The $170-million estimated price tag could change in the coming months as final project budgets are signed off on, the city noted.
This year, the City is investing more than $170 million in transportation and stormwater projects to keep our roads, bridges, trails and stormwater systems safe, reliable and ready for future growth.

Officials said the infrastructure in Mississauga being worked on includes things that can be seen like roads, sidewalks and bridges. However, they added, “it also includes less obvious things such as stormwater pipes and traffic signals. These projects help support daily life and activities in Mississauga.”
Related to transportation, “whether you drive, bike, walk or use a mobility device, Mississauga continues to invest in safe and reliable ways to get around,” the city said.
Key transportation-related projects this year include:
Upgrading traffic signals at Confederation Parkway and Square One Drive.
Adding a new left-turn lane and signals, and general repairs to an intersection on Winston Churchill Boulevard.
Repairing the Aquitaine Avenue pedestrian bridge and retaining wall.
Adding new multi-use paths and boulevard cycle tracks across Mississauga at several locations.
Repairing sidewalks and adding tactile plates (raised surfaces) at intersections.

The municipality says it’s also working to reduce flooding, protect public spaces and neighbourhoods, and keep wildlife safe.
“This includes maintaining systems that control rainwater and fixing soil erosion areas,” officials noted earlier.
Key flood mitigation projects this year include:
Building a new pumping station on Osprey Boulevard in northwest Mississauga.
Dredging and restoring ponds at Dixie and Tomken Transitway, Osprey Marsh, Silken Laumann and Britannia Road, and Central Parkway Station.
Fixing erosion along Cooksville, Credit River, Etobicoke, Mimico and Sawmill creeks.
Repairing the bridge on Burnhamthorpe Road West over Mullet Creek.
The city says road resurfacing, repair and widening projects are also on tap for 2026 in Mississauga.
A major road-widening project started on Ninth Line in the city’s west end earlier this summer. The road will be widened to four lanes, with new sidewalks, drainage and bike lanes.
The city’s Road Resurfacing Program, meanwhile, includes replacing asphalt and repairing curbs and sidewalks when needed. This year, the city says it’s resurfacing 38 roads, totalling almost 21 kilometres.
When a street is being resurfaced, crews may also work on nearby sidewalks, boulevards and city-owned parts of driveways, officials added.
Sam Rogers, Mississauga’s commissioner of transportation and works, said the work planned for 2026 “will allow us to keep pace with our growing city and maintain key assets like boulevard cycle tracks, trails and stormwater systems for public safety.”
