See Red Line Work We Completed December 13 – 15
Updated on December 17, 2019
During 4 weekend shutdowns from November 15 – December 15, 2019, we closed sections of the Red Line to work on track replacement and station improvements. These closures allowed us to complete work at Park Street 4 months earlier than planned and at Downtown Crossing 11 months earlier than planned.
This project, in conjunction with slab replacements we’re working on in 2020, will keep the tracks in a state of good repair and will support the new Red Line vehicles coming into service.
We thank you for your patience during these closures.

During the final weekend shutdown, our crews replaced 424 feet of track on Park Street’s southbound side.
We also completed work at Downtown Crossing:
- Installed new rubber flooring in the Alewife passageway
- Installed two new signs and repaired the wall on the Alewife platform
- Repaired platform edges throughout the area
