Starting April 1, the Lucien-L’Allier Exo train station will be closed for renovations until 2025.

This terminus connects three commuter train lines: 11 Vaudreuil/Hudson, 12 Saint-Jérôme and 14 Candiac.

In addition, an emergency exit will be added on Argyle Street to comply with safety standards.
