Je n'en reviens pas qu'il faille presque trois ans pour construire une station en surface qui, a priori, ne semble pas comporter de défis architecturaux complexes. d'autant plus que la construction est déjà commencée.

Peut-être parce qu'ils construiront la gare sur une voie ferroviaire active par rapport à une nouvelle voie sans trains ? Ils ne peuvent donc le faire que pendant la nuit pour une partie du travail. 🤷‍♂️

Dans un courriel qui m'a été envoyé, ils ont dit qu'il y aurait un ascenseur reliant 3 étages : le quai REM, la gare Bonaventure et le hall d'exposition. Sur le site Web, il est indiqué qu'un ascenseur est en cours d'installation jusqu'à cet hiver...

So for this new section announced, REM would be taking over the CN right of way, does elevated make sense, or would at grade make more sense or even cut? Otherwise just a different group of people could be upset now.

SkyTrain goes below downtown Vancouver, both cut-and-cover as well as bored tunnel. Similarly, there are no elevated trains in Manhattan. 

That's true, the most equivalent would be Bangkok Skytrain, which goes through their downtown with tall buildings, and it goes down a boulevard as well.

This has also been discussed. Beyond the technical problems that would pose in front of Gare Centrale, there's absolutely no way that anybody would tolerate an elevated structure in front of the St-Mary Cathedral. There's also the fact that the only way to exit the René-Lévesque alignment while elevated is through the Ernest Cormier Esplanade. Talk about getting the Nimby riled up! A tunnel is truly the only viable option if we want to continue further west.

Hopefully then if they do plan a tunnel, they plan for an "easy" expansion under Gare Centrale tracks and not just up to the tracks

This might be controversial, but I feel having it elevated in downtown would mean it would be easier to expand west to fulfill what was proposed somewhat with the pink line. If it goes underground, it would end at the tracks from Gare Centrale preventing future expansion, unless they went under it which would be more expensive. I do hope if it is elevated downtown it should be more attractive.

Juste à l'est de l'Île-des-Soeurs sur la rampe du pont Champlain, ici vous pouvez voir que le rail est installé (sous la neige)

je ne suis pas en construction, donc c'est juste toutes les suppositions

As you can see French isn’t my first language, how did the translation software even come up with this haha

Je voulais dire que je ne suis pas un travailleur de la construction, donc ce sont toutes des hypothèses

Comme le 20 septembre se trouve à la toute fin de la période indiquée. 

Techniquement, ils ont jusqu'au jeudi 22 septembre, 21h04, donc nous ne savons jamais qu'ils pourraient le prolonger à nouveau haha

Cet article indique ouverture le 14 septembre 2022: https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2022/01/21/louverture-du-rem-retardee-a-lautomne

So hopefully July opening? Also based on their earlier plans, the All Modes AB Monthly Unlimited should cost around $144, which isn't too bad when compared to the current cost of Unlimited that's only for zones AB and C, $180. I'm curious on if REM will support cards with tap like Apple Pay or Google Pay though because they're installing new machines so no excuse...

La dernière fois que je suis allé à Bonaventure, ils semblaient avoir bloqué le chemin de passage qu'ils utiliseraient, espérons-le, pour le REM, le panneau ci-dessus est couvert et changé pour ne rien dire aussi. Il se passe peut-être quelque chose, mais nous ne le saurons pas vraiment jusqu'à ce qu'il s'ouvre

The overhead line system is installed from Mill to IDS?

Yes, it is! To the left of the photo of the beams from a few days ago that I posted you can see the end part of the overhead line. Also I have this photo that's from the bridge on Bonaventure Highway that's harder to see but I noticed the cables started from Île-des-Sœurs Station

Intéressant, merci!

Merci ! Je le mettrai à jour toutes les quelques semaines si je vois des progrès

Yeah, unfortunately we learned this last week. They must have been pretty far along in the studies, because the last time Craig Sauvé mentioned the plan they were still basing the costs on $10M per station, and at last week's announcement they mentioned a cost closer to $568M for the orange line's 31 stations, almost double.

I actually asked this last weekend and they responded on Monday. Just curious, where did you hear about the project being canceled?

Yes, but these costs to upgrade garages etc. will be part of the stimulus, please?

I don't think this will be happening any time soon now, I asked on twitter and they said it's suspended

The last beams won’t even be installed in January it seems, then the deck has still to be formed and poured, then force-cured under a tarp, before the rails and the rest of the system infra can be completed. I’d be surprised if run-in tests on the Panama-Centrale leg get going before summer.

They just installed the last beams overnight, if you look on the live camera you can see and compare

Screenshot from the Live Camera, the bridge is progressing! (Highlighted, but very blurry)

Live Camera link on REM website is down (as of Saturday, January 8th).

This has been solved this morning, you can see live camera feeds again! Also they said the Work Schedule for 2022 will be updated sometime this month.
