The blue line will be closed on the morning of November 14 due to maintenance work by Hydro-Québec

Alternatives for customers
A shuttle service will run along the same route as Line 5 – Blue and will make stops at all stations. Shuttles will run from 5:30 a.m. until métro service is restored.

The local bus network is also a good alternative for customers, who can take route 93 between Saint-Michel and Parc stations, and route 51 between Snowdon and Édouard-Montpetit stations.

The STM encourages riders to plan their trips accordingly and follow the status of service in real time by visiting stm.info. Alternate travel options are also available in the trip planner on that page.

Essential work for a reliable power supply
Hydro-Québec’s preventive work, which involves the power line supplying Montreal métro Line 5 – Blue is necessary to ensure the quality of electrical service as well as the reliability of métro service.

Hydro-Québec worked with STM to determine the date the work will be carried out in order to minimize impacts, taking into account major travel events.

To limit the impact on customers, the work will be carried out at night and over the weekend. However, due to the duration of the work, it will not be possible to power the tracks in time to start service at 5:30 a.m., as usual.
