Shared-use Path at Quincy Bus Maintenance Facility Site Opens Next Week to the Public

Updated on June 9, 2022

As part of our Bus Facility Modernization project, we’re constructing a new Quincy Bus Maintenance Facility to accommodate a larger, more modern fleet of battery-electric buses (BEBs). This will allow for potential service expansion and support our efforts to lessen our environmental impact.

Project Milestones

  • Shared-use path opening soon: Next week, the new shared-use path connecting Columbia St to Burgin Pkwy will be open for public use—see progress photos in the gallery below.
  • Site demolition 100% complete: Last month, crews completed the demolition of the existing building (formerly Lowe's) at 599 Thomas Burgin Pkwy—see demolition photos in the gallery below. This work was to prepare the site for the construction of the new bus maintenance facility.
  • Overall site preparation work 95% complete: Construction crews are completing final activities to close out the project.

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.

Demolition Photos

An excavator labeled JDC Demolition lifts debris at the site of the partially demolished former Lowe's building. At right, a worker sprays water from a hose toward the building being demolished. A chain-link fence partially surrounds the site at left.

An excavator begins crashing through the wall of the former Lowe's building; surround walls are still intact. The site is viewed from across a busy intersection with cars parked in front of the site, and another car driving through the intersection.

With grey clouds overhead, a Volvo excavator's bucket crashes through a outside wall of the former Lowe's building. The adjoining wall is gone and the interior is filled with rubble. Nearby, a crew member in a yellow high-visibility vest watches the demolition from the empty parking lot.

Under a grey and cloudy sky, a crew member in hardhat and orange safety vest stands in the parking lot and watches two excavators at work in the rubble of the former Lowe's building during demolition.

Under a bright blue sky, the front facade of the former Lowe's building is seen from the empty parking lot. The building is surrounded by a chain link fence. At right in the parking lot is a large pile of gravel. No people are visible in the photo.

The image is taken from a point above and across the street from the site. An intersection and streetlights are at bottom, the demolition site surrounded by parking lots and chainlink fence is in the middle, and the orange sunset sky is overhead.
