South Attleboro Accessibility Improvements
- Design contract awarded: 2020
- Design status: 100% designed
- Construction status: On hold
The MBTA is making accessibility improvements at South Attleboro Commuter Rail station. Once complete, the newly modernized station will be fully accessible, providing better bus and pedestrian connections. The design phase is complete, but construction is on hold as the MBTA seeks funding.
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.
Service Alerts
In February 2021, the MBTA announced the temporary suspension of Commuter Rail service to South Attleboro station due to the poor structural condition of the pedestrian bridge. The bridge was demolished in October 2023.
On May 20, 2024, one of the two station platforms reopened with limited service during peak times.
Construction Progress
The design phase for station accessibility improvements is complete.
In October 2023, construction crews completed the demolition of the pedestrian bridge, existing stairs, inbound ramp, and the ramp from the West parking lot. Further construction has paused pending funding.
