Henri-Bourassa is a station on the Orange Line of the Montreal Metro rapid transit system, operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) . It is located in the Ahuntsic district in the borough of Ahuntsic-Cartierville in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The station opened October 14, 1966, as part of the original network of the Metro and the eastern terminal of the Orange Line until 2007, when the terminal was moved to Montmorency in the Laval-des-Rapides district of Laval.
The original part of the station, designed by Janusz Warunkiewicz, is a normal side platform station, connected by a transept and a long tunnel to a mezzanine some distance away. This in turn gives access to the station's entrance on 575 Henri Bourassa Boulevard, integrated into a government building, the STM's Terminus Henri-Bourassa Sud and the STL's Terminus Henri-Bourassa Nord.
A second access, closer to the station's platforms on Berri Street, was added later. It was designed by André Léonard and Claude Leclerc.
A large addition to the station was added as part of the extension to Laval. A diversion from the main tunnel and a third platform have been added. This allows some trains to end their run at Henri-Bourassa (using the existing platform) and others to continue to Laval (using the new platform). The extension opened to the public on April 28, 2007.
