Montreal’s Côte-Sainte-Catherine métro station reopens
Written by jrood
Société de transport de Montréal informed its clients that Côte-Sainte-Catherine métro station would again be accessible as of Monday, August 23, as planned, after 14 weeks of major renovations work. These had become necessary to ensure the station's integrity and will considerably extend the building's service life.
The shuttle bus service
running between Côte-Sainte-Catherine and both Snowdon and Plamondon stations will
therefore end late Sunday evening, at 1:30 a.m. when the métro closes.
The renovations carried out
during that time consisted mainly of demolishing and rebuilding the station’s
structural concrete slab while adding a waterproofing membrane, repairing
staircases and floor finishes, installing new windows, replacing the entrance
building’s indoor and outdoor lighting, replacing the fire protection system,
as well as resurfacing the asphalt and refurbishing other outdoor
installations.
The work is part of phase
II of the Réno-Stations.
