## Resource

St. Laurent Station’s aging tunnel is crumbling—concrete is falling, leaks are worsening, and repairs could cost millions and shut down the station for weeks. Built in 1985, the infrastructure is in dire need of a 15-year life extension, but getting to the damage above the tracks is tough and expensive. Construction could take over a year, with work slated for 2027–2028, and the city is already moving to hire engineers to design the fix. Commuters brace for closures as this decades-old system fights to stay standing. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
