Four lanes on a busy section of the QEW in Mississauga will shut down to traffic most nights/overnights for the next two weeks as major repair work continues on the highway bridge over the Credit River.
According to officials with the QEW/Credit River Improvement Project overseeing the major bridge rehabilitation work, a pair of eastbound lanes and two westbound lanes between Erin Mills Parkway and Hurontario Street will close to traffic Sunday through Thursday nights through April 12.
One of the eastbound lanes will shut down from 11 p.m. nightly until 5 a.m. the next morning while the second lane will close between midnight and 5 a.m., according to project leaders. One westbound lane will close from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. while the second will shut down from midnight to 5 a.m.
Also, the South Sheridan Way on-ramp to the eastbound QEW will fully close on April 4, 5 and 8 between midnight and 5 a.m. for ongoing work.
Additionally, a lane closure on a major road next to the QEW is also planned next week.
From April 8 to 12 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. each day, one lane on Premium Way, from Stavebank Road to Lynchmere Avenue, will close to traffic.

Officials note two-way traffic will be maintained at all times under flagging conditions and access to Dickson Road will be maintained at all times as well.
Temporary nighttime/overnight closures and other restrictions have been commonplace since 2022 both on the QEW and nearby roads due to the massive bridge project that began nearly three years ago.
More traffic disruptions are anticipated as work continues in the coming weeks and months. Night and weekend work along the 2.6-km stretch of the QEW from Hurontario Street to Mississauga Road, and beyond, is expected to impact traffic for the duration of the project.
