The Fabre, Iberville and St-Michel metro stations, on the blue line, will be closed for an indefinite period, the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) announced Thursday evening.
“The work currently underway at Saint-Michel station has made it possible to detect significant degradation of certain main beams above the footbridge,” explained the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) in a press release released in the evening.
The Fabre and Iberville stations must also be closed, as a safety measure, due to the location of the track devices necessary for reversing trains, said the STM.
