Changing the face of mobility in the east end of Montréal
Because the Blue line project is taking shape in densely built neighbourhoods, the project office is intent on integrating it seamlessly into the living environments through which it will pass. There is a strong commitment to delivering a project that is up to the standards of residents and customers alike, and that will coexist positively with the community both while construction is underway and when the new infrastructures are in operation. The new section is scheduled to open in 2031.

Many projects are underway to give a new impetus to this sector. Increased mobility, economic development, and improved living environments are at the heart of this ambitious project.
