The Société de transport de Montréal (STM) is announcing that Saint-Michel station will reopen at 10 a.m. on November 11.
Since the station’s closure on October 3, work has been carried out to secure two beams of the main staircase above the tracks, which after closer inspection were more deteriorated than expected. The work involved erecting posts to support the beam base, bolting steel reinforcement plates to the beams, and adding reinforcing steel and an extra layer of concrete to the beam jacketing to strengthen the beams.
The STM is now convinced that the site is safe and secure for customers and that the station can be reopened. The shuttle buses that have been running to mitigate the impact of the closure will cease at 11 a.m.
Final structural work on the beams will be completed as part of the station renovation work, which began in March 2024 and will now continue as normal. The station’s main entrance building will therefore remain closed until Spring 2025.
