Possible reopening of the station in the coming weeks

Montreal, October 25, 2024 – Following the closure of Saint-Michel Station earlier this month, the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) wants to inform its customers about the progress of the work in preparation for a potential reopening of the station in the coming weeks.

Current Situation

In recent weeks, the STM's multidisciplinary teams have been actively analyzing and seeking solutions to secure the site and renovate the affected structural elements, ensuring a safe reopening of Saint-Michel Station as soon as possible.

To date, the following actions have been taken:

  • Inspection and data collection on-site.
  • Design and planning of technical solutions for site security and structural repairs in collaboration with the contractor.
  • Definition of the implementation strategy considering the station's layout.
  • Custom fabrication of certain components.
  • Procurement and mobilization of the necessary materials for these solutions.

The next step will involve continuing securing the site, which will then enable the station's reopening. Additionally, custom parts need to be produced for these repairs, which contributes to the timeline for resolving the situation. Once the station is back in service, structural repair work will continue overnight until the end of the year.

The reopening date will be announced as soon as possible.

The STM wants to reassure Montrealers that every effort is being made to expedite the station's return to service without compromising safety. In the meantime, the dedicated shuttle for this section of the Blue Line continues to operate.

The STM apologizes for the inconveniences caused by this exceptional situation and appreciates its customers’ cooperation.
