Laval Metro Tunnel Visit

31st May 2005

A tour of the construction site of the Montreal Metro in Laval. This tour included a 750 metre passage from one emergency exit to the next one. Along the way the tour included an exposition of sounds and pictures of the evolution of the work done. This was held the 14th and 15th of May, 2005 from 8am to 6pm. At the moment there are no other plans for tours, but probably before the construction work is done, there will most likely be another tour of the work before completion. Those that missed this chance, or were unable to attend, you'll still have a chance to see a virtual tour of the tunnel construction from the 14th of June to the 26th of July at the "Centre Laval".
