BOSTON — The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority will suspend service on a portion of the light rail Green Line for two extended periods in January, while also scheduling service outages for the ongoing repairs on the Green Line extension.
From Jan. 3-12 and again from Jan. 16-28, Green Line service will be suspended on the Green Line’s B branch between North Station and Babcock Street, on the C and D branches between North Station and Kenmore, and on the E branch between North Station and Heath Street. Service will operate Jan. 13-15 during the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday weekend. Information on shuttle buses or other transit alternatives is available here.
On the Green Line extension between North Station and Union Square or Medford/Tufts, service will not operate on the weekends of Jan 6-7 and Jan. 20-21, while evening rail service will end at approximately 8:45 p.m. and be replaced with shuttle buses Jan. 8-11, Jan. 16-18, and Jan. 22-25. This is to accommodate continuing work by the builder of the extension, GLX Contractors, to correct track issues that have existed since the extension was built [see “MBTA Green Line extension was built with track out of gauge …,” Trains News Wire, Oct. 19, 2023].
More information is available at the MBTA website.
