Ashmont Branch and Mattapan Line Track Upgrades
We’re making major track improvements across the Red Line’s Ashmont Branch and Mattapan Line.
In order to complete this work, shuttle buses will replace service on the Ashmont Branch and Mattapan Line from Saturday, October 14 – Sunday, October 29.
During this time, crews will replace ties and complete full-depth track replacement at several locations along the lines. Replacing this track will help address speed restrictions and bring a smoother ride for passengers.
Rider Benefits
- Safety: New rails, ties, and ballast reduce the risk of unplanned service disruptions
- Reliability: Increase speed for a more consistent schedule
