Project 19-2215
Streets affected: Lakeshore Road from Jack Darling Memorial Park to Elmwood Avenue, Wesley Avenue, Pine Avenue, Front Street North
Construction details
To support growth in South Peel and optimize the sanitary sewer collection system through the Lakeshore corridor, Peel Region is constructing a 2400mm diameter sanitary sewer and 750mm diameter watermain along Lakeshore Road, from Jack Darling Memorial Park to Elmwood Avenue.

- Watermains are underground pipes that bring tap water from our water treatment plants to your neighbourhood. As our population grows, we need to build larger watermains to keep providing high quality water services
- Sanitary sewers are underground pipes that carry wastewater from your home or business to a wastewater treatment plant. Wastewater is created when water goes down the drain or is flushed down the toilet. As our population grows, we need to build larger sewers to keep providing high quality wastewater services.
Construction schedule
The construction contract has been awarded. We anticipate to begin on or around October 14, 2025 at Jack Darling Memorial Park and proceed east. Construction is anticipated to last to late 2029.
Traffic impacts and temporary lane closures
Lane reductions will be required to complete the project. We will update you with durations as they are known.
Road closures at specific locations will be required to complete this project safely. We will update you with durations as they are known well in advance of the proposed impact. Detour routes will be provided.
These updates will be included in the project update notices.
Jack Darling Park
Lakeshore Road West Trail will be detoured at Jack Darling Memorial Park starting as early as November 10, 2025, to late 2029.
We will update you with additional information as it becomes available, in advance of the detour route being put into effect.
Richards Memorial Park
Lakeshore Road West Trail will be detoured at Richards Memorial Park to complete our project.
We will update you with additional information as it becomes available, in advance of the detour route being put into effect.
Marina Park (Front Street North)

Peel Region is proud to have partnered with the Mississauga Arts Council to spotlight local artists throughout our project area. The artwork murals that will be on display celebrate the character, culture, and history of Mississauga – particularly the vibrant Lakeshore corridor where this work is taking place. Together, we aim to bring community voices and creative expressions into the heart of our infrastructure projects.
Our murals will be set up on the walls of our construction compounds (working areas). We’ve included a small preview of the art murals below. We will update this section as the murals are set up on site.
For more information, refer to the Lakeshore Mural Project.

Location: Jack Darling Memorial Park
Artist: Nyle Miigizi Johnston
Artist Statement: “It is our responsibility to walk in balance on this earth. We are to show love and respect to all our co-tenants of creation. Our actions can influence all life that may dwell in the sky, land, water and underground realms. This mural represents the relationship we have to creation and how beautifully we are interwoven to this quilt that we call life on this planet."
The new 2400mm sanitary sewer will be installed underground by a tunnel boring machine. There will be construction compounds along Lakeshore Road at Jack Darling Memorial Park, at Richards Memorial Park, on Pine Avenue, on Wesley Avenue, Front Street North (within the parking lot and Marina Park area), and the city parking lot at Elmwood Avenue. These compounds are required to insert the tunnel boring machine, mine the tunnel, install the sanitary sewer pipe, and to install access maintenance holes along the route at strategic locations for future sanitary sewer connections.
The new 750mm watermain will be installed by both open cut and trenchless methods, with the section of watermain from Shawnmarr Road to Elmwood Avenue N installed in the tunnel using a microtunnel boring machine. Compounds will be required where the tunnel boring machine is being inserted underground and pipe installed.
Where the watermain is being installed within an excavation on the roadway, lane closures will be required.
Why is this project important
Peel Region is undertaking this work to meet future needs of the community, while providing a reliable wastewater collection system and water supply system. This project will provide the following:
- Increase in water and wastewater system capacity to accommodate future growth in the Port Credit area
- Efficient water distribution and sewage conveyance
- High quality water supply services for end users
- Resiliency within the sewer and water systems
- Opportunity to retire 7 existing sewage pumping stations (SPS); Jack Darling 2 (SPS), Richards Memorial (SPS), Ben Machree (SPS), Indian Road (SPS), Front Street (SPS), Elmwood (SPS), Hiawatha (SPS) thereby reducing long-term operational and maintenance costs to the Region
Refer to these environmental assessments (EA) related to the Lakeshore Project:
- Schedule B Class EA completed for Front Street Wastewater Pumping Station
- Schedule B Class EA completed for gravity sanitary sewer from Indian Road sewage pumping station to Lakeshore Road trunk sewer
- Schedule C Class EA for Port Credit East Water and Wastewater Servicing Optimization Strategy
