Motorists can expect traffic delays throughout October on a major road in Mississauga’s east end as work crews install a new watermain.

The Region of Peel said it’s also doing related work in the area of Eastgate Parkway, east of Tomken Road, starting Sept. 28 and continuing until the end of October.

Region officials said in an online project update this week that crews are working in the area “on major upgrades to the Hanlan watermains, part of Peel’s most critical infrastructure.”

Due to the ongoing work, which includes “existing valve chamber” upgrades in addition to the watermain job, the region said eastbound Eastgate Parkway will be reduced to a single lane in front of the work compound located just east of Tomken Road.

“At this stage, a temporary lane reduction will be required to complete this work,” the region said in its update this week, adding motorists can “expect delays and choose alternate routes, if possible.”

Officials added that all people in the area, not only drivers, should take safety precautions near where the work is taking place.

“Construction zones require extra caution to keep everyone safe. Be aware of your surroundings when driving, walking or biking near the construction area,” they said. “Watch for construction crews and other road users, slow down and consider other routes.”

The region also said in its update to the community that “construction can be disruptive, and we appreciate your patience as we work to improve our community’s infrastructure. This work both maintains and improves Peel’s world-class water systems, allowing us to provide safe drinking water to support a thriving community for life.”
