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.

Shuttle Bus Stops

Alternate Shuttle Bus Service on the D Branch

Shuttles are not able to stop at Beaconsfield due to narrow roads in the area. Riders can instead use Reservoir station, a 9-minute walk, or Dean Road station on the C Branch, a 2-minute walk.

Why We’re Doing This Work

During these closures, we'll replace over 6,000 feet of track and six pedestrian crossings at Woodland, Waban, and Eliot stations, and install Green Line Train Protection System (GLTPS) equipment.

This closure is the last of four that have taken place across the Green Line this year. With 27 days of full access, we will complete upgrades that would usually take six months of weekend closures.
