Announced in 1998 by the STCUM, the project to extend Line 2 (Orange) past the Henri-Bourassa terminus to the city of Laval, passing under the Rivière des Prairies, was launched March 18, 2002.
The extension was decided and funded by the Government of Quebec.
The AMT received the mandate of its implementation but the ownership and operation of the line stayed with the Société de transport de Montréal (STCUM successor).
The work completed, opening to the public happened April 28, 2007.
This extension added 5.2 kilometres (3.2 mi) to the network and three stations in Laval (Cartier, De la Concorde and Montmorency).
As of 2009, ridership increased by 60,000 a day with these new stations, making this extension a success.
