Significant progress is being made on the construction of the Hazel McCallion Line, with reconstruction work along Mary Fix Creek nearing completion.
Running from Old River Road in Mississauga to the Credit River, Mary Fix Creek is vital to preventing floods and erosion near the Port Credit GO and has been undergoing a transformative revitalization as part of the Hazel McCallion Line project.
Work crews are reconstructing 400 metres of the creek bed, from just north of Old River Road, to the station. This is a critical stretch for flood protection, where the creek flows through a concrete-lined channel.
The new design is wider and deeper to provide additional flood control with up-to-date hydraulic modelling, improved safety, and resilience, all while protecting the community from significant storm damage.
To date, more than 325 metres have been completed with the remainder expected to be finished this year.
Construction of the new bridge over the creek, from Eaglewood Boulevard to Oriole Avenue, is now complete and once the design for new traffic signals is in place, it will be commissioned and opened to the public.
