The major, multi-year infrastructure project will see the region build a new large sanitary sewer and install watermain along Lakeshore Road in Mississauga, from Jack Darling Memorial Park in the west to Elmwood Avenue in the east (see map below). Work began last October.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis multi-year construction project is a necessary investment that will support the long-term needs of the community\u201d and provide a number of benefits, Peel officials said in an earlier project update a couple of weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Peel Region\u2019s latest update on Monday noted the below-ground work begins July 20 at Jack Darling Memorial Park and will continue until summer 2028.<\/p>\n
The region said the City of Mississauga has provided a noise bylaw exemption to allow tunnelling work to take place between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m.<\/p>\n
\u201cOvernight work will primarily involve tunnelling operations. These activities will generate lower noise levels than typical above-ground daytime construction,\u201d Peel officials said in their most recent update, adding, \u201cintermittent noise may still occur. However, measures will be in place to minimize impacts on nearby residents.\u201d<\/p>\n
The region continued, saying it knows \u201cconstruction can be disruptive, and we appreciate your patience as we work to improve our community\u2019s infrastructure.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis work both maintains and improves Peel\u2019s world-class water systems, allowing us to provide safe drinking water and reliable wastewater services to support a thriving community for life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Significant progress expected in next several months<\/p>\n
The sewer and watermain project is expected to make significant progress in the coming months, those in charge of the undertaking say.<\/p>\n
To date, the region noted crews have either finished or made progress on other tasks that include the following:<\/p>\n
Located existing underground utilities such as hydro and gas at multiple key areas along the length of Lakeshore Road.
\nTunnel access point at Richard\u2019s Memorial Park is fully dug. It\u2019s at a depth of 34 metres.
\nTunnel access point on Pine Avenue South is currently being dug.
\nTunnel access point at Elmwood Avenue in the public parking lot on the northeast corner of Elmwood Avenue and Lakeshore Road has begun. \u201cWe are drilling concrete piles in the ground that will provide ground support to access the tunnel deep into the ground,\u201d the region said.<\/p>\n
Project leaders said that when the work is completed, residents and businesses will experience the many benefits.<\/p>\n
The upside,\u00a0according to project leaders, includes the following:<\/p>\n
Ready for growth \u2014 Larger pipes mean the system can easily support new homes and businesses in south Peel.
\nBetter flow \u2014\u00a0Water and sewage will move through the system more smoothly and efficiently.
\nReliable service \u2014 Ensures a steady, high-quality water supply for homes and businesses, with fewer interruptions.
\nA stronger system \u2014\u00a0New infrastructure is more durable and less likely to break or fail during storms.
\nCost savings \u2014 By replacing seven old pumping stations with this new gravity-based sewer pipe, Peel saves money on expensive long-term operations and maintenance costs.<\/p>\n

As work moves forward, Peel officials said area residents, businesses and drivers can also expect impacts that include lane reductions on Lakeshore Road West, temporary road closures and detours, temporary closures of municipal parking lots (Elmwood Avenue North, Wesley Avenue and Front Street North), relocation of bus stops and sidewalk detours.<\/p>\n
Construction along the entire corridor, which also includes other smaller projects<\/a>, is expected to continue until late 2029, the region said earlier.<\/p>\n For more information on the project, and related projects in the area, check out a video presentation<\/a> from a Peel Region open house held in April.<\/p>\n
