Blue line: partial closure extended for an indefinite period
Several stations on the blue line, on which service was partially interrupted on Sunday due to accessibility work at the Édouard- Montpetit, will remain closed indefinitely.
“The constraints related to the work force us to extend the closure of the section for an indefinite period,” announced the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) early Sunday evening.
Les contraintes liées aux travaux nous forcent à prolonger la fermeture du tronçon pour une durée indéterminée. Le service de navettes se poursuit, et les lignes #stm51 et #stm119 ainsi que la @stm_Orange continuent de circuler normalement. https://t.co/86WNYvNhjh

While the closure was initially to be lifted at 7 p.m. , the Acadie, Outremont, Édouard-Montpetit, Université-de-Montréal, Côte-des-Neiges and Snowdon stations will remain inaccessible (via the blue line) for an unspecified period.
The STM indicates that the shuttles deployed on Sunday morning to compensate for the closure continue to circulate between the Snowdon and Jean-Talon stations. She also reminds that no disruption is currently affecting service on the orange line.
The work begun in the Édouard-Montpetit station aims to make the structure universally accessible. In particular, two elevators that will connect all levels of the station must be installed.
