See Orange Line Work We Completed January 17 – 20
Updated on January 23, 2020
We're continuing weekend maintenance work on the Orange Line in 2020. During these shutdowns, we'll close sections of track so crews can bring vehicles and equipment into the central subway tunnel.
These service shutdowns allow our crews to complete work on 2 projects simultaneously—Orange Line Maintenance and Station Brightening—without requiring major long-term service closures.
We thank you for your patience during these closures.
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.
Weekend 1: What We Completed
During the first Orange Line weekend shutdown of 2020, our crews replaced 60 feet of track on State’s northbound side and 204 feet of track on Haymarket’s northbound side.
We also:
- Installed new tactile warning strips on Chinatown’s northbound platform
- Repaired a staircase leading to Chinatown’s southbound platform, and replaced 9 stair treads at Downtown Crossing
- Began preparations to install cross-track wayfinding signs at Downtown Crossing
