We’re upgrading the Blue Line between Airport and Aquarium stations to improve resiliency and travel time.

The harbor tunnel, which runs between Aquarium and Maverick stations, passes under Boston Harbor and is susceptible to flooding during storm surges. We’re making infrastructure upgrades to improve flood resilience and prevent water leaks and corrosion.

We’re also replacing the track between Airport and Maverick stations so we can lift a speed restriction and improve travel times.
