Track work and other tasks being completed on the $4.6-billion Hazel McCallion light-rail transit line will lead to additional traffic delays and noise in the next couple of months near Mississauga Hospital, project leaders say.<\/p>\n
Traffic will be impacted on a busy section of Hurontario Street (see map below) at and near The Queensway, where what will eventually be the largest hospital in Canada is being built at the southwest corner of the major intersection.<\/p>\n
Metrolinx, the provincial agency in charge of the massive south-Mississauga-to-Brampton transit project, said in an update on Thursday that work in the area began late Tuesday and will continue until May 26 at 10 p.m.<\/p>\n
\u201cCrews will be welding tracks and doing concrete work for guideway installations within the intersection of Hurontario Street and Bronte College Court\/Sherobee Road (just south of The Queensway),\u201d the agency said in its update. \u201cWork at this intersection will take place in two phases to help reduce impacts to the community and Trillium Health Partners (health network that oversees Mississauga Hospital). Additional lane closures will be in place during this time for utility work.\u201d<\/p>\n
Metrolinx added construction may take place any day of the week and at any time, \u201cincluding overnight, to complete the work as quickly as possible. Traffic signal timings will be adjusted to help keep traffic moving and pedestrian access will be maintained at signalized crossings.\u201d<\/p>\n
Also, nearby residents and workers may notice increased noise and vibrations during the next couple of months due to work being carried out by construction equipment such as trucks, excavators, loaders and backhoes, the project leader noted.<\/p>\n

The work is being completed in two phases. During the first phase:<\/p>\n
Crews will begin work on the south side of the intersection.
\nLeft turns at the intersection will be restricted.
\nWestbound traffic on Sherobee Road and Bronte College Court will remain open.
\nDetours will be in place via North Service Road and Sherobee Road.<\/p>\n
During the second phase:<\/p>\n
Once the south side is complete, work will move to the north side of the intersection.
\nNorthbound left turns from Hurontario Street to Bronte College Court will be allowed (except for trucks).
\nOther left turns at the intersection will also be restricted.
\nThrough traffic on Bronte College Court and Sherobee Road will be restricted.<\/p>\n
Similar traffic restrictions are also in place at a number of other locations along Hurontario Street between Port Credit and Brampton as work progresses on the 22-kilometre Hazel McCallion Line.<\/p>\n
When completed at a yet-to-be-determined date<\/a>, the new LRT route will whisk passengers from Port Credit GO in south Mississauga north into Brampton along Hurontario Street.<\/p>\n It will feature more than 20 stops along the route, including several in Mississauga\u2019s downtown core by Square One. Metrolinx received the go-ahead from the province in February 2024 to extend the LRT line by three or four kilometres into downtown Brampton and reintroduce the \u201cdowntown loop\u201d<\/a> to the City Centre area of Mississauga. The latter component will add several stops to the route.<\/p>\n City of Mississauga senior staff, councillors and Mayor Carolyn Parrish have expressed frustration in recent months with ongoing delays associated with construction of the LRT line, which was initially to open in fall 2024.<\/p>\n Last September, Parrish described the project as \u201can incredible mess.\u201d<\/a> She later told INsauga.com it wouldn\u2019t surprise her if the new LRT route didn\u2019t take its first passengers until 2029<\/a>.<\/p>\n Metrolinx has not yet provided a specific date for completion of the Hazel McCallion Line.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/LRT-map-Hazel-Line.jpg\"\/)
