The City of Mississauga will be performing roadwork near UTM that may impact the commute to campus due to lane reductions. Stage two of bridge rehabilitation construction at Burnhamthorpe Road West, east of Mississauga Road over the Credit River runs April 29 to July 31. For information, call 3-1-1, (905-615-4311 outside Mississauga) or visit https://www.mississauga.ca/contact-us/.
Repair work begins on P4 parking deck
The ramp to the P4 parking deck lower level entrance is closed until early May to repair the damaged deck and install a new concrete panel.
With the exception of a fenced construction area on the Upper Level, parking on both the levels will be available. Overflow parking is available in lots P11 and Alumni House. All UTM permits are valid in both locations.
For questions, contact Daniela DiBrigida, project manager, facilities management & planning, at daniela.dibrigida@utoronto.ca or (905) 302-0658.
