Stage 2 Municipal Roadwork: Burnhamthorpe Road West Bridge Retrofit, starting April 29, 2024

We are sharing a message from the City of Mississauga about the next stage of continuing roadwork near campus that may impact your commute to campus due to lane reductions.  

As always, we encourage our community to consider sustainable ways to get to campus such as public transit to reduce the volume of single-passenger vehicle use to campus and to review detour routes if recommended by the City during the project.
