Green Line Intersection Upgrades (2019)
In 2019, we replaced sections of track where the rail crosses the road and pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers pass over the tracks.
Uneven pavement was replaced with a new, smooth layer. Accessible ramps were installed in several sidewalk locations.
- Contract awarded: March 2019
- Projected completion: Substantial completion November 2019; final completion April 2020
- Budget: $21,000,001
- Status: 100% construction complete
As part of the Green Line Transformation (GLT), this project meets the following goals:
- Access: New pedestrian pathways at 18 stations
- Safety and resiliency: New rail and pavement at 30 crossings to mitigate risk of service interruptions due to track conditions
- Customer experience: Safer pedestrian, vehicle, and bicycle crossings
