See Red Line Work We Completed December 6 – 8
Updated on December 12, 2019
During 4 weekend shutdowns from November 15 – December 15, 2019, we closed sections of the Red Line to work on track replacement and station improvements. These closures allowed us to complete work at Park Street 4 months earlier than planned and at Downtown Crossing 11 months earlier than planned.
This project, in conjunction with slab replacements we’re working on in 2020, will keep the tracks in a state of good repair and will support the new Red Line vehicles coming into service.
We thank you for your patience during these closures.
Building a Better T
As part of our $9.6 billion, 5-year capital investment plan, we're renovating stations, modernizing fare collection systems, upgrading services for our buses, subways, and ferries, and improving the accessibility of the entire system.
Weekend 3: What We Completed
During the third weekend shutdown, our crews replaced 435 feet of track on Park Street’s northbound side.
We also:
- Painted track and platform areas and installed wayfinding signs on Downtown Crossing’s northbound and southbound sides
- Repaired ceiling holes and leaks in Downtown Crossing’s Red Line passageways
- Removed old phone booths at Park Street and Downtown Crossing
