The STM ceased service on parts of three metro lines Thursday morning. The transit company said the interruptions came after smoke was detected.

UPDATE: Service has resumed or is resuming on all lines.

EARLIER: The green line had been shut down between Frontenac and Angrignon stations, but the STM reduced the interruption to the track between Berri-UQAM and Lionel-Groulx.

The whole of the yellow line, from Longueuil to Berri-UQAM, had shut down but service began to gradually resume as of 8:39 a.m.

As of 8:38 a.m. service is gradually resuming between Beaubien and Snowdon stations on the orange line.

The STM projects that service on the green line will resume at 10:15 a.m.

This is a developing story. Check back for more details.
