MBTA Announces June Service Changes
The MBTA today announced service changes in June on the Green, Blue, Framingham/Worcester, and Lowell lines. There are also some Commuter Rail service changes related to World Cup matchdays.
Riders can find more information on service changes through in-station signage, in-station public announcements, and at mbta.com/PlannedWork. Transit Ambassadors and MBTA staff will be available on-site to offer information and assistance during these service changes. Riders are encouraged to subscribetoT-Alerts or to follow the MBTA on X @MBTA, @MBTA_CR, and @MBTA_CR_Alerts for up-to-date service information.
As previously announced, Symphony Station will also close for approximately three years beginning June 6 to advance major accessibility upgrades at the station. Located in one of Boston’s busiest cultural and historical neighborhoods, the 85-year-old Symphony Station is ready to be upgraded into a safer, fully accessible station featuring four new elevators and many other station enhancements.
To accomplish this work, the following service suspensions will take place:
Green Line C branch service will bypass the following street-level stops during the following dates:
-
Symphony Station will be closed to riders for 35 months beginning June 6. During this time, Green Line E branch trains will bypass the station (meaning trolleys will operate through the station in both directions, but will not stop).
Riders who typically board or disembark at Symphony can instead board or disembark at Northeastern University or Prudential, which are 0.3 miles away (or about a five-minute walk) from Symphony.
Riders are encouraged to instead consider travelling on the Orange Line at Massachusetts Avenue, which is 0.1 miles (or about a three-minute walk) from Symphony.
Riders may also use the Route 39, which operates parallel to the E branch in both directions along Huntington Avenue.
During weekends in June, the MBTA will perform critical switch work near Wonderland.
To accomplish this work, the following service change will take place during the weekends of June 6 – 7, June 20 –21, and June 27 – 28:
On the Framingham/Worcester Commuter Rail Line:
Keolis will perform switch and signal replacement work on the Framingham/Worcester Line during one weekend in June. This signal upgrade project supports train service to both sides of the new center platform at Worcester Union Station as well as the future expansion of Regional Rail service. When complete, the project will include a retaining wall and signals bridge over a half mile of five active tracks, the construction of three new and upgraded signals houses, and the removal of two existing signals houses and signaling infrastructure.
To accomplish this work, the following service suspension will take place:
On the Lowell Commuter Rail Line:
The MBTA will perform work to repair the stairs at Lowell Station on the Lowell Line in June.
Service Changes during World Cup Matchdays:
From June 8 through July 12, passengers are reminded that trains will run less frequently on most Commuter Rail lines. Most peak-hour service, 6 – 10 AM and 3:30 – 7 PM, will be maintained. On World Cup matchdays, additional changes will be in effect on all Commuter Rail lines in and out of South Station.
