Aeroports de Montreal (ADM) last week held a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the start of construction on the Reseau Express Metropolitain (REM) metro station at the Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport.

The station construction is expected to be completed by 2023, ADM officials said in a press release. 

Upon completion, the stop will be one of 26 stations to be built on the nearly 42-mile REM light-rail network that will eventually connect the airport to downtown Montreal. 

Station construction will be managed by PSK Construction, a consortium that includes Pomerleau, SNC-Lavalin and Kiewit. Work includes installation of platform screen doors, track, electric power supply, and communication and control systems. 

ADM will fund the CA$250 million station construction, which is part of a larger CA$2.5 billion project to rebuild aging infrastructure at the airport, officials said.
