CDPQ Infra announced Monday that it expects to be ready to open the Deux-Montagnes branch of the Montreal's REM light-rail service on Nov. 17. 

Subject to successful completion of some remaining tests, the REM trains will begin serving the Deux-Montagnes branch stations and three connections to the Montreal metro subway system. The launch will bring the new stations into service from downtown Montreal to the suburb northwest of Laval, Quebec.

Currently, the REM runs from Brossard, on the South Shore, to Montreal's Gare Centrale station, according to a CBC report.

Construction on the REM began in April 2018. It is Quebec's largest public transit infrastructure project since the Montreal metro system was inaugurated in the 1960s, according to CDPQ Infra.
