history
The section between the Atwater and Papineau stations was opened on October 14, 1966 and is therefore part of the metro's basic network. The completion of smaller sections was delayed by a few months. On December 19, 1966, the extension from Papineau to Frontenac followed , two days later the Beaudry stopover was added. Construction of the second stage began in 1971 after Montreal won the bid to host the 1976 Summer Olympics . The aim was to transport the numerous visitors to the Olympic Park . The section between Frontenac and Honoré-Beaugrand was opened on June 6, 1976, six weeks before the start of the Summer Olympics. The third expansion phase between Atwater and Angrignon , which went into operation on September 3, 1978, marked the end.
Further extensions are not planned.
