Watermain break closes busy intersection in Mississauga

Crews are working to repair a watermain break that has resulted in the closure of a busy intersection in Mississauga early Tuesday morning.

Peel Region tells CityNews that a hydrant was sheared off, causing a leak and flooding on the roads.

“It didn’t topple over on its own and was knocked over,” Peel Region told CityNews.

However, police say the watermain break was not due to a collision and no injuries were involved in this incident.

Peel Region says businesses in the area will be out of water for some time as crews repair the watermain. The work is expected to be completed later today.

Meanwhile, Metrolinx says there is no impact to the LRT project on Hurontario Street.

In an update Tuesday afternoon, peel police say all directions of the intersection have reopened except northbound Hurontario from Dundas Street.
