Lanes will close for 10 consecutive overnights on QEW in Mississauga

Overnight lane closures on the QEW in Mississauga are ramping up as major repairs on the highway bridge over the Credit River enter another spring/summer work season.
Officials with the QEW/Credit River Improvement Project overseeing the major bridge rehabilitation work say a pair of eastbound lanes and two westbound lanes between Erin Mills Parkway and Hurontario Street will not only close to traffic Monday through Thursday the next three weeks — but two of those lanes will close on busier weekend nights as well.
On Monday through Thursday nights until May 17, one of the eastbound lanes will shut down from 11 p.m. 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.
From Friday, May 10 through Sunday, May 12, the two eastbound lanes between Erin Mills Parkway and Hurontario Street will close at various times between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m.
In addition to those lane closures, a handful of on- and off-ramps will be shut down to drivers as well, officials said.
The following QEW ramps will be fully closed from midnight until 5 a.m. on these nights:

- QEW eastbound on-ramp from South Sheridan Way — April 30
- QEW westbound on-ramp from Hurontario Street — May 1
- QEW westbound off-ramp to Mississauga Road — May 2
- QEW westbound on-ramp from Mississauga Road — May 3
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.
