Worksite summary
As part of the Blue line project, this worksite involves building a new operational infrastructure required to operate the métro. The workshop is an above-ground building with several floors that provides administrative areas for maintenance employees and drivers.
The garage is where most of the métro trains are parked overnight and where the interiors are cleaned. The new Anjou garage will be entirely underground. It will include eight parking spaces and a maintenance pit where minor métro train repairs can be done.
The workshop will be located at the corner of Bourgneuf and La-Roche-sur-Yon, and the garage will be underground from the secondary entrance building to the auxiliary structure on Pauline-Vanier.
A second structure will be connected to the underground garage at the end of the tail tracks. De Bayeaux auxiliary structure will be located at the corner of Place de Pocé and De Talcy Avenue.
Start of work: We plan to start the excavation work in 2025.
Description of the work: Construction of new surface-level and underground infrastructure.
Duration of the work: Exact schedule to be specified.
Description of the work: New building construction

Upcoming excavation work
Full and partial street closures are planned at various points along the route and will last for varying lengths of time. Detailed planning is not yet available for your area. In the meantime, please see the Latest Updates and FAQ tabs on the project page for more information on the high-level planning.
Learn more about the project
An auxiliary structure is a service building, closed to the public and located between two métro stations, that houses a variety of mechanical and electrical equipment needed for métro operations. This includes ventilation equipment, power supply infrastructure and pumps to remove runoff water. There are currently hundreds of these buildings in the métro network.
In the fall of 2024 and 2025, urban forestry work will take place around the Blue line project worksites. Trees that interfere with the construction sites will be protected, replanted, or cut down. Our team of forest engineers, landscape architects, urban planners, and sustainable development experts has carefully planned these interventions to preserve as many trees as possible.
The goal is to replant the trees wherever possible. Soverdi, the not-for-profit organization overseeing the replanting process, will monitor and care for the trees after they are transplanted to ensure their survival. Trees that can’t be replanted due to their size or condition will be recycled into wood chips, firewood or compost depending on the quality of the wood. The health and species of the trees will also help determine which ones need to be cut down, based on whether they are diseased, subject to borer infestations, or invasive, among other factors.
Ultimately, Blue line project sites will be revegetated and several hundred new trees planted, for a stronger, healthier canopy. For every tree replanted or cut down, we will plant more than two in their place.
Behind the scenes
It’s not every day that we build a métro train garage! But over the last few years, we did just that: the new Côte-Vertu garage is located on the Orange line, in the borough of Saint-Laurent. Check out our behind-the-scenes video on the project and learn about how an infrastructure like this gets made.

The Blue line 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.
