Station Issue (Ongoing)

The passageway between the Red Line-Alewife and Orange Line-Forest Hills platforms at Downtown Crossing will be closed from Tue May 29 through Mon Jul 2 to allow for the construction of a new elevator.

The Winter Street Concourse provides a direct, accessible connection between the Red Line at Park Street and the Orange Line-Forest Hills platform at Downtown Crossing. To connect from the Orange Line to the Red Line, follow detour signs for the Red Line-Alewife via the Winter Street Concourse. To connect from the Red Line to the Orange Line, stay on the train one more stop, get off at Park Street, and follow signs the Orange Line-Forest Hills via the Winter Street Concourse.
We are constructing a new elevator between the Orange Line-Oak Grove and Red Line-Alewife platforms to improve accessibility at Downtown Crossing. The project also includes an exit staircase to Washington Street, new doors and gates at the Red Line platform exits to the Summer Street concourse, and other egress safety improvements.

Access to the east entrance of North Station is available through a covered walkway. Legends Way is closed to pedestrian access.

Customers are advised that the pedestrian route for customers transferring from the Green and Orange Line exits at Causeway and Beverly St into North Station Commuter Rail will be moved slightly to accommodate ongoing construction work.
After crossing Causeway St, pedestrians will use a protected walkway along the east side of Legends Way, directly abutting Portal Park. The walkway will include a barrier and kick-plate for blind and low vision passengers.
As an alternative, customers may consider utilizing the west exit from North Station Commuter Rail due to congestion.
