Nearly 40 major projects on tap as $170M construction season starts in Mississauga

Completing work on a new pumping station, restoring creeks and stormwater ponds, and resurfacing dozens of roads are part of a $170-million construction season in Mississauga that’s now underway with plans to tackle nearly 40 major projects, the city says.

More than 30 new projects and another seven ongoing jobs from 2025 are part of the lineup this construction season, which will continue into December, the City of Mississauga said in a recent news release.

Residents will see workers across the city doing jobs to “improve public spaces and systems people rely on,” officials added.

“Crews will repair and maintain existing roads, bridges and trails. They will also work to restore creeks and stormwater ponds. Some new projects will also begin, such as building a new pumping station, traffic signals and cycle paths. This work will help keep roads, bridges and other city spaces in good shape and ready for future growth.”

The $170-million estimated price tag could change in the coming months as final project budgets are signed off on, the city noted.

Officials said the infrastructure in Mississauga being worked on includes things that can be seen like roads, sidewalks and bridges. However, they added, “it also includes less obvious things such as stormwater pipes and traffic signals. These projects help support daily life and activities in Mississauga.”

Related to transportation, “whether you drive, bike, walk or use a mobility device, Mississauga continues to invest in safe and reliable ways to get around,” the city said.

Key transportation-related projects this year include:

• Upgrading traffic signals at Confederation Parkway and Square One Drive.
• Adding a new left-turn lane and signals, and general repairs to an intersection on Winston Churchill Boulevard.
• Repairing the Aquitaine Avenue pedestrian bridge and retaining wall.
• Adding new multi-use paths and boulevard cycle tracks across Mississauga at several locations.
• Repairing sidewalks and adding tactile plates (raised surfaces) at intersections.

The municipality says it’s also working to reduce flooding, protect public spaces and neighbourhoods, and keep wildlife safe.

“This includes maintaining systems that control rainwater and fixing soil erosion areas,” officials noted.

Key flood mitigation projects this year include:

• Building a new pumping station on Osprey Boulevard in northwest Mississauga.
• Dredging and restoring ponds at Dixie and Tomken Transitway, Osprey Marsh, Silken Laumann and Britannia Road, and Central Parkway Station.
• Fixing erosion along Cooksville, Credit River, Etobicoke, Mimico and Sawmill creeks.
• Repairing the bridge on Burnhamthorpe Road West over Mullet Creek.

The city says road resurfacing, repair and widening projects are also on tap for 2026 in Mississauga.

A major road-widening project has just started on Ninth Line in the city’s west end. The road will be widened to four lanes, with new sidewalks, drainage and bike lanes.

The city’s Road Resurfacing Program, meanwhile, includes replacing asphalt and repairing curbs and sidewalks when needed. This year, the city says it’s resurfacing 38 roads, totalling almost 21 kilometres.

When a street is being resurfaced, crews may also work on nearby sidewalks, boulevards and city-owned parts of driveways, officials added.

Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish said this is an important time of year when new projects are launched and existing infrastructure is repaired and updated.

“Crews will be out in Mississauga completing important works like road resurfacing, creek erosion control and storm pond dredging,” she said. “We will continue to rehabilitate roads after our harsh winter. We are also starting a major road-widening project on Ninth Line. To help our crews work safely, make sure to slow down in construction zones, follow posted signs and be patient with fellow road users.”

Sam Rogers, Mississauga’s commissioner of transportation and works, added the work planned for 2026 “will allow us to keep pace with our growing city and maintain key assets like boulevard cycle tracks, trails and stormwater systems for public safety.”
