Additional Green Line service changes may take place later in June, and the MBTA will announce more information when these changes are confirmed and scheduled," MBTA spokesperson Lisa Battiston said.Īsked how essential this work is, and if the lines have been operating without it since riders started taking the trains last year, Battiston said "it's final work that will be completed before the contract is formally closed out. MBTA crews will also perform additional work along the East Cambridge Viaduct. "This service change allows the GLX team to complete final finishing work, including track and drainage work around the Red Bridge, Inner Belt Yard, and other locations. MBTA officials say these closures will allow workers to finish work on the tracks.

Charlie Baker's last full month in office. The Union Square branch opened last year and the Medford/Tufts branch opened in December, Gov. The Green Line extension, which starts at Lechmere Station in Cambridge and has two branches to Union Square in Somerville and to the Medford/Tufts stop in Medford, will be closed for the first two weekends of June. Going into June, the MBTA will be focusing repairs on southern sections of the Red Line, where widespread slow zones have caused major rider delays, and even the northern Green Line extension - the newest tracks, most of which have only been open for roughly seven months. The T cut service to Blue and Red Lines this spring to find extra time to make repairs. There are still 204 restrictions in place system-wide, representing 20% of all tracks. The restrictions were put in place after parts of the track were found to be unsafe for trains to run at full speed. Five months after the T slowed trains across its system, causing delays and disruptions for riders, the new general manager said Thursday that the MBTA has made "some further progress" on lifting the slow zones, but "we have a lot more to do."Īcross all four subway lines, the MBTA lifted 66 speed restrictions in April and May.
