REM station at YUL – ADM Aeroports de Montreal today held a groundbreaking ceremony to officially launch construction of the future Reseau express metropolitain (REM) station at YUL Montreal-Trudeau International Airport. The first REM metro car will enter the station in 2023.

The construction of the REM station is part of a much larger project, the cityside development program, which will include rebuilding the multi-level parking complex and the drop-off/pick-up zones at YUL, access infrastructures that are at the end of their useful life and at full capacity. A new space, YULtransit, will also be built underground where modes of public transport will converge.

REM is a new milestone for Montreal-Trudeau Airport

Representing an investment of more than $2.5 billion from ADM, this program is one of the largest private infrastructure projects in Quebec and marks a new milestone in the history of Montreal-Trudeau Airport.

To support execution of the work, ADM has awarded the project management contract to a consortium composed of firms with specialized expertise: Pomerleau, SNC-Lavalin and Kiewit (PSK Construction). As partners of the program, they will be mandated to identify opportunities for optimizing the schedule and phasing of the work while ensuring that impacts on passenger service are minimized.
