All Montreal Metro stations on the Orange Line between Berri-UQAM and Henri-Bourassa are located under Berri Street.

The Sir George-Étienne Cartier National Historic Site is located on the corner of Berri and Notre-Dame Street.

The oldest segment of Berri Street opened in the 1690s when the Séminaire de Saint-Sulpice established a route towards the river, and became later known as rue Saint-Gilles.

Berri Street took its modern form beginning in 1895, when land was expropriated for the construction of Viger Station.

There is also a Rue Berri in Laval's Pont-Viau district, running several blocks north from the Rivière des Prairies not far from the alignment of the Montreal street, although they are not connected.
