Service resumes on Montreal Metro's Green line
Service has resumed on the Montreal Metro's Green line, which was down early Friday morning due to 'water infiltration.'
montreal.ctvnews.caHere’s the latest on the Montréal metro (métro de Montréal) based on public STM updates and recent coverage.
-
Blue Line extension progress: The STM is continuing construction for the Blue Line extension from Pie-IX to Anjou. Vertical excavation is advancing at multiple sites, with the tunnel boring machine assembly ongoing and expected to begin digging once the machine is ready. The new stations are planned to open in 2031. This project includes five new stations and updated at-surface connections planning.[1]
-
Station access and infrastructure: D’Iberville has been highlighted in past updates as part of accessibility improvements within the network. The STM has periodically announced new elevators and accessibility upgrades at various stations as part of its ongoing modernization program; recent press materials reference added accessibility features at key stations and the integration of station entries with broader redevelopment plans.[2]
-
Service updates and events: The STM maintains a current-events feed with service adjustments, including potential changes due to strikes or special events. While there have been occasional disruptions in the past (e.g., temporary station closures or service changes), the organization typically communicates these through its official updates and press releases. For Nuit Blanche in Montreal, extended metro service has been noted as a special-event measure in the past, with trains running later than usual on event nights.[3]
-
News coverage overview: Montréal metro coverage via local outlets and STM pages tends to focus on infrastructure milestones (extension progress, CBTC signaling contracts, accessibility upgrades) as well as service advisories and occasional emergency situations. This aligns with the STM’s public-facing announcements and major project milestones.[4][6]
If you’d like, I can pull the exact latest STM status page or summarize recent press releases in more detail, or add a quick timeline of the Blue Line extension milestones through 2031. I can also set up a brief, shareable update with key dates and stations. Would you prefer a concise milestone summary or a more detailed, sourced briefing?
