QEW - Mississauga/Credit River Project

I think it was discovered in the spring. I admit it's been longer than I anticipated to complete the archeological dig. I too wonder what it is - it's been months of archeological crews on the site every day.

Don't forget that the dig on the north side took two years to complete, from 2016 to 2017. I suppose they could devote more resources to finish the south side dig faster, but I'm not surprised to see them still digging. Stuff like this takes time.

Ironic that the province will spend $50M+ to speed up Gardiner construction, but this archaeology study will take an entire year. The two projects have similar overall budgets ($300M).

This one has a far smaller impact on traffic as there aren’t long term lane reductions here. the traffic impact here isn’t 0 but it’s relatively minimal.

The province is also now claiming this is "Substantially complete" (lol)

The bridge is substantially complete!

So I walked along the hydro corridor going through here, completely forgetting that the construction was probably not yet complete.

I looked at the website and now see there's a "fall 2025" newsletter update. It makes it sound like the trails are open now? Did I literally miss this by a couple weeks?!

The gates were still closed when I drove past on Saturday.
