Work is underway at Outremont station to make it universally accessible. We will also undertake a major refurbishment of the station, including adding a natural ventilation shaft and a new staircase.


Duration of the work: January 4, 2021 to fall 2024

Description of the work: Installation of three elevators and major refurbishment of the station.

Bus impacts: Yes, there is detour for lines 160 and 161.

Holiday break

The worksite will be closed from July 21 to August 4, inclusive. Work will resume on August 5, 2024.

A virtual public information session was held on October 26 at 7 p.m.  If you missed this event and would like to find out more about the work involved in the project and how it may affect you, you can consult the document (in french) presented that evening or view the video of the public information session.

A second virtual public information session will take place on May 31 at 7 p.m. This session will provide information on worksite progress as well as information about a liaison committee that will be set up to foster healthy, dynamic relations between the STM and local residents. Participate to this session.

Part of the alleyway adjacent to the station will encroach on the work area and be subject to excavation work to build an elevator shaft. The alleyway will become a dead end since it will lead to the work area. It will be accessible only from Lajoie Avenue.

Garbage, recycling and organic waste collection will be maintained for the duration of the work, but, since the alleyway will be closed at the north end, collection will take place on Wiseman Avenue and Stuart Avenue. You need to bring the bins in front of your residence. Please identify your bins and put them at the curbside on collect day.

On-street parking: Parking restrictions will be in place around and inside the work area. Read the signage carefully.

Sidewalks and access: Pedestrian access to buildings will be maintained at all times. Sidewalks may be blocked occasionally. In this event, pedestrian detours will be implemented.

Buses: Service will be maintained, with some relocated stops. Read bus stop signs carefully.

Water shut-offs: Water may be shut off during certain work. Notices will be distributed to affected homes 48 hours before any shut-off. We ask that you pay close attention to these notices so that you can prepare accordingly.

If you have any other questions regarding this project, please contact STM customer service at 514-786-4636.

The work will be done in compliance with all municipal by-laws.

Work schedule

Any construction work likely to generate noise will generally be scheduled between 7:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. Some work may continue over weekends, in accordance with municipal by-laws, to keep the construction on schedule. Also, some work must absolutely be done outside of métro service hours and may be carried out at night.

The required excavation work will generate vibrations that may be felt by residents near the worksite. We have hired an independent consulting firm to survey (particularly photograph) all buildings around the worksite. These inspections will document the condition of the buildings before and after construction. In the unlikely event that any damage is reported, an expert opinion could help to determine whether the damage is the result of the vibrations produced by the work site. Property owners affected by this measure will be notified accordingly.

Anti-dust sheets will be installed on all the worksite partitions to limit dust dispersal.

We care about the quality of life of residents living close to our facilities. Rest assured that we will take all measures necessary to keep the impact on residents, businesses and customers to a minimum.
