Yes, the elevator will remain accessible at all times, as it is not in the entrance building that will be closed.
Since the very beginning of the work, we have been working to expand a service tunnel, which houses various equipment and cabling. Although this area is not accessible to the public, the work is necessary to meet current needs better. Also, the floor finishes on the walkway and some wall coverings have been replaced. Lighting on the platforms and the walkway is also being modernized.
The work on the Berri entrance building is scheduled to be completed on September 23, 2019. And the work in the rest of the station is expected to be completed in December 2019.
We scheduled the work over a period of nearly two years to minimize the impacts on your trips.
This work is made possible thanks to funding from the Ministry of Transport.
