BOSTON — A partial collapse of a parking garage has led the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority to suspend service on parts of two transit lines as of this morning (Monday, March 28).

Orange Line subway service has suspended for a seven-station segment between the Back Bay and North Station stops, while a bus bridge is operating on the Green Line between the Government Center and North Station.

Service is suspended indefinitely.

“Service will not resume until a team of structural engineers, examining and assessing infrastructure above and below the surface, confirms that service can safely resume,” the MBTA says in a press release on its website, which also details recommended alternatives for passengers.

Boston.com reports part of the garage at the Government Center, which was being demolished, collapsed Saturday evening, killing one worker and injuring a second.
