Part of the Metro's Orange Line will be shut down all morning

Some Montrealers may need to find an alternative route on Thursday morning as part of the Orange Line has been shut down to water infiltration.

The Société de transport de Montréal (STM) made the announcement this morning, stating that service has been halted between the Lionel-Groulx and Berri-UQAM stations because of a “broken aqueduct.”

Montreal’s public transit authority advises travellers to use the Green Line as service expected to resume at 12 pm.
