Highway Construction of the Week in Mississauga

Although summer is over and the weather is getting cooler, minor and major construction projects are still in full swing and it’s good to know what areas are experiencing (or expecting) work so you can plan your commute accordingly.

So, what are some major highway projects surging forward right now?

Here’s a list of five big ones to be mindful of on your drive to (or from) work or play:

 5) Hwy 401 Eastbound Collector – Dixie to Renforth Drive

Recurring construction might affect your drive on this stretch of the eastbound 401, as alternating two-lane closures are occurring. This project kicked off on Oct. 2 and will run until Oct. 7.
