MBTA Green Line B Branch 12-Day Improvements Work Completed on Schedule; Green Line C Branch Closure to Begin July 11

As part of the MBTA’s Capital Programs, the Capital Transformation team has completed the 12-day closure on the Green Line B Branch, accomplishing infrastructure work that will improve safety and reliability on the line. During the closure, crews replaced 3,200 feet of track, four units of special track work, one vehicular intersection, one pedestrian crossing, and installed wayside equipment for the Green Line Train.

With the B Branch work complete, the Green Line Transformation team will shift focus to the 12-day closure scheduled for the C Branch from Monday, July 11 to Friday, July 22. Prep work has begun and will take place between Hawes Street and Kent Street stations. This work will not interfere with regularly scheduled service. During the closure, crews will replace 1,500 feet of track from Kenmore to St. Mary’s stations and install wayside equipment for GLTPS.

Accessible shuttle buses will replace Green Line C Branch service from Kenmore to Cleveland Circle during the 12-day closure. Shuttle buses will bypass Brandon Hall and Kent Street stations to expedite travel times for riders. Riders can use Fairbanks Street or Summit Avenue stations instead of Brandon Hall and either St. Paul Street or Hawes Street stations instead of Kent Street.
