STM Begins Station Construction

April 30, 2015

As of May 1, repair work, which will continue until February, will be undertaken at the Place d'Armes station, which will generate the closure of the entrance of the Saint-Urbain Street.

The reconstruction aims to improve traffic flow, to improve the lighting and initiate the station transformation process towards universal accessibility. Specifically, the work of almost $ 6.2 million, 75 percent funded by the Ministry of Transport of Quebec, primarily:

  • The expansion of the kiosk
  • The addition of a ramp
  • Relocation turnstiles
  • Replacement of floor finish
  • To refurbish the windows
  • The waterproofing of the station

The installation of elevators will be in a separate project, to be started as soon as the first project is completed.
