Update — Wednesday, October 2, 4:31 p.m.: The Ministry is expanding the work zone, so MiWay is revising the detour path, starting Thursday, October 3.
Ontario Ministry of Transportation contractors continue a project to widen
- the Queen Elizabeth Way between Cawthra Road and Etobicoke Creek.
During the project, the contractors are also replacing the bridge carrying Dixie Road over the QEW. Construction began in May 2022 and likely continues for five years, meaning as late as until July 31, 2026.
Starting Friday, September 19, the work zone for the projects blocks the westbound lanes of
- South Service Road between Ogden Avenue and Dixie Road.
MiWay is detouring buses along this route, while the street is closed:
- 5 Dixie.
To partially replace service on Ogden Avenue, while buses along the 5 Dixie route are detouring, MiWay is temporarily introducing this new route:
- Ogden shuttle buses.
Buses along the Ogden shuttle route operate every day. They start their trips in Dixie Outlet Mall terminal from 4 a.m. until 2 a.m. Mondays to Fridays, from 4:40 a.m. until 1:30 a.m. Saturdays and from 6:07 a.m. until 10 p.m.on Sundays and holidays. Buses drop off or pick up passengers at stops every 35 minutes.
This phase of construction at the QEW and Dixie and the resulting MiWay detour and service change continue until further notice.
