Led by the City of Mississauga, the Dundas BRT Mississauga East segment has an estimated project budget of C$580 million, which includes design and construction, land acquisition, and additional regional utility upgrades to be coordinated to increase construction efficiency.\n \n\n “The Dundas BRT will provide direct connections to urban light rail and the wider regional transit network, connecting mobility hubs and enhancing transit services locally and regionally,” said\n \n Susan Walter\n \n , Stantec’s executive vice president of Infrastructure. “BRT solutions are a growing trend across North America, and we are excited to provide our expertise and support the City of Mississauga.”\n \n\n In addition to the transportation work, Stantec’s Water group will work with water engineering partner CIMA+ on approximately 12,500 metres of watermain and approximately 12,600 metres of wastewater main replacement, using a combination of trenchless tunneling and open-cut techniques. These works will be closely coordinated with roadway construction to minimize community disruption while optimizing cost and schedule outcomes.\n \n\n\n Improving connections in Mississauga and the region\n \n\n The Dundas BRT Mississauga East project will be designed to increase service reliability, decrease travel time, and enhance transit ridership and satisfaction. It is a crucial part of the larger transit expansion in the region, supporting transportation demand and Metrolinx’s 2041 Regional Transportation Plan, which is designed to promote economic growth, support increased housing supply, and create jobs. The project also aligns with the City of Mississauga’s 2018 Dundas Connects Master Plan, supporting urban growth while addressing environmental commitments and community interests.\n \n\n “...
