Guy-Concordia to get a facelift

Much needed repairs are coming to the Guy-Concordia metro station. This comes after reports surfaced over a cockroach infestation.

The renovations are a part of a two hundred and fifty million dollar plan to fix up Montreal’s metro stations. Spokeswoman for the Societé de transport de Montreal said they have prioritized renovations to this station.

Double the amount of turnstiles will be added to accommodate the estimated eight million riders who use the station. There are also plans to replace doors, lighting, ventilation and drainage systems at the Saint Mathieu exit.

The station has received increased traffic with Concordia’s new underground tunnels.

Work is set to begin in January. And the Saint Mathieu exit will be closed from March 5th to August 26th, 2012.
