Location

Côte-de-Liesse (French pronunciation: [kotdəljɛs]) is an interchange station in the Saint-Laurent borough of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is operated by CDPQ Infra and serves the Réseau express métropolitain (REM) system. It will also be the terminus of Exo's Mascouche line. The station was known as Correspondance A-40 during development, named after the nearby Quebec Autoroute 40,[4] and has been renamed after Chemin de la Côte-de-Liesse, the service road accessing Quebec Autoroute 40.

The REM station opened on November 17, 2025.[5] The Mascouche line train station did not come into service at that time, with Exo saying they would announce a date soon.[6]

Facilities

The station is built at ground level along the main trunk of the REM line. It has two island platforms. The eastern island serves northbound REM trains on its west face (Platform 1); on its east face, outside the station building, is the single high-level commuter train platform, with entrances into the building on either end of the platform outside the fare-paid zone. The western island serves southbound REM trains on its east face (Platform 2), while its west face (Platform 3) is an auxiliary platform where trains can wait to provide additional service when needed, similar to the arrangement at Brossard station.

The two platforms are connected by crossovers over the central tracks at either end. The crossover at the south end also passes over the side tracks to reach entrances at either side of the station: Rue Deslauriers at Rue Benjamin-Hudon to the east (entrance A) and Rue Stinson at Rue Hodge to the west (entrance B). The station is supplied with four elevators for accessibility: one at each exit and one to each island platform.
