Old Colony Tie Replacement Project Underway Temporary Closure of Plymouth Station

Beginning Wednesday, November 3 and continuing as long as the weather permits, the MBTA contractor, J.F. White, will be performing necessary track work to replace the deteriorating concrete ties between Plymouth Station and the Rte. 3 Overhead Bridge in Kingston. During this time Plymouth Station will be closed. Train service will be provided to and from Kingston Station ONLY.

The project reflects the MBTA’s commitment to provide customers with enhanced service reliability; and is an integral part of MassDOT’s overall plan to continually maintain and improve the Commonwealth’s transportation infrastructure.

To ensure information is available to customer/residents as the project progresses, a number of communication methods will be available. Beginning Wednesday, November 3, all information pertaining to the project including work schedule, bus replacement service, and project updates will be available at the MBTA Projects page, or by calling the MBTA Customer Support Service Center at (617) 222-3200. A 24-hour hotline will be available allowing customers and residents the opportunity to call in 24 hours a day with questions and concerns regarding the project. The Hotline number will be available on the T’s website beginning November 3. Also, additional communication tools including flyers, posters, and press releases will be used to share project milestones.
