Henri-Bourassa and Sauvé métro stations
temporarily closed

Montreal, November 24, 2006 - In order to proceed with the installation of signalling equipment needed for Laval métro operations, the STM has no choice but to close Henri-Bourassa and Sauvé stations for two consecutive weekends. Both stations will therefore be closed all day Saturday and Sunday, next December 9, 10, 16 and 17.

While the stations are closed, a special shuttle service will run between the two stations and Crémazie according to weekend métro service intervals.

Shuttle buses will travel on Berri Street toward Crémazie station and on Lajeunesse Street toward Henri-Bourassa station along the following route:

Southbound to Crémazie
Departure from Henri-Bourassa terminus
1st stop at the corner of Berri and Henri-Bourassa

3rd stop at the north entrance to Crémazie station

Northbound to Henri-Bourassa
Departure from north entrance to Crémazie station
