📋 Tender Overview
The MBTA reminded customers that weekend Red Line service between Broadway and KendallMIT Stations will be suspended starting this weekend beginning at 845 PM on Fridays through Sundays for 4 weekends as part of the MBTAs 2019 Capital Acceleration Plan. Note Regular Red Line train service will operate the weekend of Thanksgiving November 29 December 1.Accelerated work taking place on the Red Line during these 4 weekends includes station improvements and track replacements at Park Street and Downtown Crossing Stations. The MBTA will replace and add new signage clean paint and repair stairstile within the stations. The T will also replace approximately 1800 feet of 30-year-old track at both stations which is approximately 450 feet of track in both the northbound and southbound directions at Park Street and Downtown Crossing. These 4 weekend shutdowns allow the MBTA to complete work on the Red Line level at Park Street 4 months earlier than planned and at Downtown Crossing nearly a year earlier than planned. These weekend diversions of the Red Line continue our progress toward building a better T said MBTA General Manager Poftak. While these weekend diversions are inconvenient they allow us to accomplish necessary upgrades resulting in a safer more reliable system sooner.During these 4 weekends bus shuttles will be provided between KendallMIT and Broadway. Due to one-way traffic patterns shuttle service toward Alewife will not stop at Park Street and shuttle service toward AshmontBraintree will not stop at Downtown Crossing.
