MBTA Announces Multi-Day Red Line Suspension Beginning This Weekend
|
The MBTA provided the following announcement:
The MBTA is reminding riders of the upcoming multi-day Red Line service suspension as part of the Track Improvement Program.
Red Line service will be suspended between Harvard and Broadway beginning at approximately 8:30 PM through the end of service on Sunday, November 17. Red Line service will continue to be suspended between Harvard and Broadway all day and every day November 18 – 23. On November 24, the planned service suspension will be extended between Harvard and JFK/UMass.
The decision to include an evening service suspension this Sunday and extended location limits on November 24 was made following a review of the logistical challenges associated with placing construction equipment on and off the tracks in this complicated area.
Riders can find complete information soon at mbta.com/RedLine. More information on these service changes and alternate travel options is below:
Beginning at 8:30 PM November 17, November 18 – 23:
Free and accessible shuttle buses will make all stops between Harvard and Broadway with the exception of Park Street and Downtown Crossing.
