MONTREAL METRO BLUE LINE EXTENSION
“THE INSTALLATION of this key component demonstrates
our government’s commitment to promoting public transit in order to o昀昀er users faster and more
accessible travel options,” said Jonatan Julien,
Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility.
The construction teams are continuing the 昀椀nal
assembly of the tunnel boring machine (TBM) and
preparing for its commissioning. Recently, the
massive components, including the 204-tonne gear,
were successfully lowered to approximately 20
meters below ground level. Operation is scheduled
to begin next spring. Once activated, the TBM will
excavate the rock at an average rate of 10 to 15
meters per day. It is expected to reach the future
Anjou station in 2028.
This project is being carried out in collaboration
with 昀椀ve responsible organizations: the Ministry
of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, the
Metropolitan Regional Transportation Authority,
the City of Montreal, the Quebec Infrastructure
Corporation, and the Montreal Transit
Corporation.

PETER GILGAN FAMILY QUEENSWAY HEALTH CENTRE
2026 Top100 Projects Rank: 66 Value: $1.3 billion
TRILLIUM HEALTH PARTNERS (THP) and the Government of Ontario, together
with donors and community partners, marked a major milestone in
the construction of The Gilgan Family Queensway Health Centre by
raising the 昀椀nal structural beam.
“The Gilgan Family Queensway Health Centre re昀氀ects a shared
commitment to advancing accessible, high-quality rehabilitation and
complex continuing care, delivered closer to home for people today
and in the future,” said THP CEO Karli Farrow.
With the structure now at full height, the project is 40 per cent of
the way toward substantial completion and is moving into the next
phase focused on enclosing the building and 昀椀nishing the spaces
where patients will receive care.
In April 2024, construction began on the future home of The
Gilgan Family Queensway Health Centre, following the awarding
of a $1.3 billion 昀椀xed-price contract to EllisDon Corporation to
build and 昀椀nance the project. Patient tower occupancy and 昀椀nal
completion is planned for 2029.
