D'Iberville station (French pronunciation: [dibɛʁvil]) is a Montreal Metro station in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[4] It is operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) and serves the Blue Line. It opened in 1986. It is located at the southwestern tip of the Saint-Michel neighborhood.[5]
Overview
[edit]It is a normal side platform station with two entrances, one of them automated. The station, clad in terra cotta, features one artwork, a large abstract aluminum mural by Eddy Tardif entitled Le Pélican, representing Pierre Le Moyne D'Iberville's ship.
Origin of name
[edit]D'Iberville is named for the rue D'Iberville, in turn named in honour of Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville.
Station improvements
[edit]In spring 2020, work began at the station to upgrade and refurbish it, as well as making it universally accessible at a cost of $38.5 million.[6] Three elevators and a ventilation shaft will be installed, and the main entrance of the station will be renovated. Between October 2020 and January 2024, the main entrance building on rue d'Iberville was closed to allow construction work to take place, with passengers using the secondary entrance while the main entrance is closed.[7]
On January 29, 2024, the station became the 27th accessible station on the Metro when the main entrance reopened.[6]
