Blue line project
Lisette tunnel boring machine prepares for departure
The tunnel boring machine named Lisette, in honour of Montréal's first female métro operator, is beginning its 4.6-kilometre journey eastward. Chosen by the public as the TBM's godmother, Lisette is once again making public transit history.
Our team is ready to welcome you
Join us on June 10, from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. for the Blue line project Day. Come see a model of the tunnel boring machine, meet members of the project team, and discover several surprises.
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.

The blue line extension project follows in the wake of the Déclaration du gouvernement du Québec et de la Ville de Montréal to revitalize Montréal East. 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.
