<\/p>\nOngoing construction on what will become Canada\u2019s biggest hospital will have some temporary impacts on drivers visiting the health care facility.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Today, Trillium Health Partners, the health care organization that operates the Mississauga Hospital and Credit Valley Hospital, announced that a road closure will go into effect this month due to construction on the Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital and the Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children.<\/p>\n
Starting Aug. 8, the east roadway between the parking garage and the main entrance will be closed until fall of 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The roadway is being closed to support construction of a tunnel connecting the parking garage to the new hospital\u2019s future loading dock, a THP spokesperson said in an email to INsauga.com.\u00a0<\/p>\n
THP says drivers entering from Bronte College Court will still be able to access the parking garage, but will not be able to access hospital entrances or pick-up\/drop-off areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Drivers coming from Queensway West or Confederation Pkwy will have access to the parking garage as well as pick-up\/drop-off areas at the north entrance, J-wing entrance, and main entrance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Throughout this construction, the lower pick-up\/drop-off area will be closed to vehicles.<\/p>\n
Construction on the hospital kicked off earlier this summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital<\/a> and Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children is anticipated to reach substantial completion by 2033, with hospital operations expected to transition into the facility in 2034. The hospital is\u00a0expected to be without rival anywhere in the country at some 2.8 million square feet in size and 22 storeys in height.<\/p>\n What\u2019s been described as a state-of-the-art health-care centre that will cost an estimated $16 billion to build (some $4 billion over budget, according to the Office of the Auditor General of Ontario\u2019s annual report for 2024) will also house the 200,000-sq.-ft. Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children<\/a>.<\/p>\n That facility will become Ontario\u2019s first health-care centre to focus exclusively on the well-being of women and children, hospital officials in Mississauga said earlier.\u00a0<\/p>\n The new Mississauga hospital is being built on the same site as the current hospital at Hurontario Street and The Queensway, where it\u2019s been situated since first opening in 1958.<\/p>\n Once complete, the new hospital will, through its construction, create some 3,000 construction jobs and contribute about $1 billion to the local economy over the next 10 years. It will be the largest community-based teaching hospital in Canada at 2.8 million square feet and with 950 beds and 23 operating rooms. It will also host an anticipated 1.7 million patient visits annually and will add 2,400 health-care support staff and some 400 doctors to its ranks.<\/p>\n \u2013 With files from Declan Finucane<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s note: The story has been updated to clarify that the hospital will be fully operational by 2034.\u00a0<\/p>\n Last 30 Days: 104,042 Votes<\/p>\n All Time: 794,584 Votes<\/p>\n 163 VOTES
