THE PROJECT
The QEW Credit River Improvement Project is underway. Construction on the new QEW Credit River Bridge and the Mississauga Road overpass commenced in Spring 2021. The Project also includes rehabilitation of the existing QEW Credit River Bridge, reconstruction and widening of the existing QEW, landscape improvements and inclusion of active transportation facilities.
The Project extends approximately 2.7 km from west of Hurontario Street to west of Mississauga Road in the City of Mississauga, Region of Peel. The project limits are shown on the key plan below.

This Project is being completed through a Design-Build-Finance project delivery model. Under this model, detail design and construction can occur simultaneously as components of the Project advance and environmental clearances are issued. EDCO is a consortium comprised of EllisDon Corporation and Coco Paving Inc. and has been selected by the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) and Infrastructure Ontario (IO) to design, build and finance the QEW Credit River Improvement Project under a Public Private Partnership (P3).

THE PROCESS
This Project is following the Group ‘B’ requirements of the MTO Class EA process. Extensive consultation with various stakeholders was undertaken as part of the 2013 Preliminary Design and Class EA Study and as part of design work in 2017 and 2018. Building upon the previous consultation efforts by MTO, EDCO will continue to consult with local stakeholders and Government Authorities throughout the Project and in accordance with MTO’s Class EA.
