Montreal’s light-rail system has an opening date for its northwest expansion, with the Deux-Montagnes line set to open on Nov. 17.
The new branch of the REM network includes 14 stations, three of which connect to the metro system.
The Deux-Montagnes segment is an extension of the Brossard line, composed of the first five stations of the network that opened in July 2023 and connect the South Shore to downtown.
