D'Iberville station 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

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

D'Iberville is named for the rue D'Iberville, in turn named in honour of Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville.

Station improvements

In spring 2020, work began at the station to upgrade and refurbish it, as well as making it universally accessible.[6] Three elevators and a ventilation shaft will be installed, and the main entrance of the station will be renovated. In October 2020, the main entrance building on rue d'Iberville was closed to allow for work to get underway, with passengers using the secondary entrance while the main entrance is closed.[7]

Completion of the work, including the installation of elevators, is planned for Fall 2023.[6]
