Traffic will be slowed due to lane closures on and near QEW in Mississauga
Published April 15, 2024 at 10:10 am
Four lane closures on the QEW in Mississauga and the partial closing of a nearby road are planned starting this week as major repair work continues on the highway bridge over the Credit River.
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 close nightly and overnights starting next Sunday (April 21) and continuing until May 3.
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.
Additionally, a lane closure on a major road next to the QEW is planned each night this week through Friday.
From 10 p.m. until 5 a.m., Mississauga Road from South Sheridan Way to Mississauga Crescent will be reduced to one lane.
Officials note two-way traffic will be maintained at all times under flagging conditions and access to and from Mississauga Crescent will be maintained at all times as well.

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.
