LYNN — Work is underway on a $6.1 million project to improve the MBTA’s Central Square Station and its parking garage.

The station and its garage are in need of a variety of repairs resulting from years of neglect.

The scope of work in and around the T stop includes the installation of new sidewalks, the replacement of step stones to prevent pedestrian accidents, stair and elevator equipment repair, improved drainage, expansion joint and structural repairs, painting of the steel girders on the 5-story garage, as well fixes to the commuter rail platform, according to the T.
