Stephen Dasko said earlier.<\/p>\n It has been identified by the City of Mississauga as one of its highest-priority infrastructure projects and cost of the bridge is being shared<\/a> by the city\u00a0and federal government.<\/p>\n What Dasko has described as a \u201csignature bridge\u201d is expected to make getting around the south end of Canada\u2019s seventh-largest city<\/a> much easier for people once it opens.<\/p>\n \u201cDesigned exclusively for pedestrians and cyclists, the bridge will provide a safe, accessible crossing separated from vehicle traffic, linking Port Credit and the GO station with the Mineola West neighbourhood,\u201d Mississauga officials said earlier in announcing that some $8.7 million in federal funding will help the city complete the pedestrian\/cycling bridge project in addition to major upgrades to the Culham Trail<\/a>.<\/p>\n The bridge project, the city continued, supports Mississauga\u2019s efforts to \u201cenhance transportation options and strengthen connections along the waterfront.\u201d<\/p>\n Dasko added earlier the bridge has, for years, been part \u201cof the vision for a more connected Port Credit. Once complete, it will provide a safe and convenient link across the Credit River, connecting residents to the GO station, waterfront and local destinations while supporting active transportation in one of Mississauga\u2019s most walkable communities.\u201d<\/p>\n Construction began last October, and City of Mississauga officials initially said it would take 18 months from that point to complete the bridge.<\/p>\n The bridge was assembled in a fenced-off area near both the Royal Canadian Legion\u2019s parking lot and Memorial Park, project leaders said earlier, adding \u201conce assembled, the bridge will be launched over the Credit River.\u201d<\/p>\n Both renderings above show a completed pedestrian bridge over the Credit River in Mississauga\u2019s south end.
