The main entrance to Fabre metro station on the Blue line will close this week for major renovation work that continues until 2028.
The Société de transport de Montréal is replacing the fixed staircases and concrete slab of the main kiosk and building a new substation nearby to support the Blue line extension. The work happens in two phases: the first runs four weeks starting this week, the second begins in September 2026 and continues through winter 2028.
Passengers should use Entrance B at the corner of Jean-Talon and Fabre streets during the closure. Bus stops are relocating in stages. The 45 Papineau line moves south of the Jean-Talon intersection this week; starting next month, the 93 bus line shifts to Jean-Talon Street. Full details on the STM website cover both phases.
The closure affects commuters across the northeast metro corridor, with the alternate entrance a short walk from the main station. Plan for the extended construction timeline if you use this stop regularly.
