Some QEW lanes in Mississauga closed every night next week for bridge work

Several eastbound and westbound lanes of the QEW in Mississauga will be closed to traffic for five consecutive nights and overnights starting Sunday (Aug. 28) as crews continue to ramp up the work schedule on rehabilitation of the highway bridge over the Credit River. 

Notices of temporary lane and ramp closures on the QEW in Mississauga have been coming fast and furious in recent weeks.

Officials with the QEW/Credit River Improvement Project, who are overseeing the massive undertaking, have been putting out closure notices almost every other day. 

The latest notice, issued today (Aug. 26), tells motorists that the following lane closures will be in effect, weather permitting, each night/overnight between Sunday and Thursday (Aug. 28 to Sept. 1):

• two QEW eastbound lanes from Erin Mills Pkwy. to the Credit River bridge–(Aug. 28 to Sept. 1) first lane from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., second lane from midnight to 5 a.m.
• two QEW westbound lanes from east of the bridge to Erin Mills Pkwy.–(Aug. 30 and Sept. 1 only) first lane from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., second lane from midnight to 5 a.m.

Project officials say traffic disruptions are anticipated due to the overnight construction work.

In notices issued earlier this week, project officials alerted motorists to a series of temporary lane and ramp closures to take place, weather permitting, on Aug. 26, 29 and 31. 

As work continues on the massive Credit River bridge project, drivers and area residents can expect ongoing traffic disruptions to impact part of the QEW and other areas in the vicinity of Mississauga Rd. and the highway in the coming weeks and months.

Night and weekend work along the 2.6-km stretch of the QEW from Hurontario St. to Mississauga Rd. is expected to impact traffic for the duration of construction.
