The Mobilité Bleu Horizon consortium is undertaking the extension of the blue line of the Montreal metro

The extension involves the construction of a tunnel and the addition of five new stations over a distance of nearly 6 kilometers, from the Saint-Michel station to the Anjou district.

This extension will allow more than 20.000 users during peak periods to benefit from a reliable and rapid service, and above all from improved access to the structuring public transport network.

Already mobilized, the Mobilité Bleu Horizon team will begin work before the end of 2024 in close collaboration with the Blue Line Project office. This project consists of building the tunnel and excavating several structures of the extension. MBH will work in collaboration with the Blue Line Project office to minimize the impacts on citizens and the business community throughout the duration of the project.

For Philippe Adam, Chairman and CEO of Pomerleau: "We are pleased to begin this sustainable mobility project, which is part of the socio-economic development of eastern Montreal. Our experience on major projects such as the REM, the Surrey Langley SkyTrain stations in British Columbia, and the renovation of the Louis-Hyppolite Lafontaine tunnel in Montreal, demonstrates our ability to undertake increasingly complex projects across the country."

For Marie-Claude Houle, President and CEO of EBC: "EBC is proud to contribute to this major project by leveraging its expertise in underground excavation. It is by carrying out major public transportation projects such as the extension of the Montreal metro, the construction of the REM, including the underground station at the Montreal Airport, or by complex and risky excavation work such as major Canadian hydroelectric dam construction sites, that EBC has developed specialized techniques that will be used today."

For Jean-Charles Robin, president of Spie batignolles: "We are very proud to contribute to the extension of the Montreal blue line thanks to our expertise in managing major transport infrastructure projects in Europe such as those of Grand Paris, in which Spie Batignolles is a major player, or that of Lyon Turin Ferroviaire and more recently that of the red line of the Lisbon metro."
