Overall construction information and schedule
The work involves replacing approximately 1,113 meters of watermain on Dundas Street East from Dixie Road to the border of Peel Region and Toronto. At this time, there is approximately 75m of watermain left to install. This work will be followed by water service connections to area businesses, paving and restoration.
Construction was initially scheduled to be completed by the end of 2024. However, due to the age of Dundas Street East, several abandoned utilities were discovered, as well as undocumented underground obstructions. These unforeseen challenges have caused significant design changes and delays, extending the project timeline to July 2025. These timelines are estimates and may be affected by weather conditions or other unexpected events.
Contractor working hours
To minimize traffic congestion, the City of Mississauga has granted permission under the Noise Bylaw for certain work to take place on Saturdays (not including Easter weekend) and occasionally overnight (between 2 a.m. and 8 a.m.). We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
The work is being completed by Moretti Excavating Limited, with support from EXP, under contract to Peel Region.
This contractor's regular working hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday, under local municipal bylaws. While we understand this may cause some inconvenience, reducing working hours would extend the construction timeline in your neighborhood.
Traffic impacts
We understand that residents/businesses/commuters have experienced significant lane reductions and increased traffic congestion. We are improving this by ensuring line painting is kept up to date and opening lanes wherever possible.
