Preparatory work on the Deux Montagnes line

Work required in preparation for the future REM infrastructure will begin April 27^th. This important step will provide critical data that will help to guide NouvLR, the consortium entrusted with the REM’s construction, in designing the REM structures and stations.

Nature of the work

Coordinated by the REM project office, the work will initially consist in geotechnical drilling, surveying and the building of temporary facilities. These tasks are critical to assessing soil composition and resistance — a prerequisite to designing and constructing the various infrastructures.

Impact

In progress: Beginning of construction of McGill, Édouard-Montpetit, Canora and Mont-Royal stations and of the Saint-Eustache maintenance centre. There is currently no service on Friday nights and weekends on the Deux-Montagnes and Mascouche lines.
