Three blue line stations closed

Three stations on the blue line – Fabre, d’Iberville and Saint‑Michel – have been closed because of structural concerns revealed by work being done at Saint‑Michel. A shuttle bus, bus 809, will run between Jean‑Talon and Saint‑Michel stations while repairs are made.

Clarifications have been made Friday morning. The problem is at Saint‑Michel only, but they need to close the stations between Saint‑Michel and Jean‑Talon because Jean‑Talon is the only station before Saint‑Michel where trains can turn to go back towards Snowdon.

Update: La Presse says the STM is blaming the infiltration of road salt brine for weakening the concrete.
