The 16-day shutdown will impact the Ashmont Branch between JFK/UMass and Ashmont stations and the Mattapan Line between Ashmont and Mattapan stationsPart of the MBTA Red Line is shut down for the next 16 days, affecting some 44,000 riders as crews work to replace some of the oldest track in the T's system.
In addition to the shuttle buses, there are going to be other options for those impacted by the shutdown, as well, according to Boston Mayor Michelle Wu.“Safety of the MBTA system is paramount, and this 16-day closure allows us to address many of the Red Line’s worst speed restrictions much faster than we’ve been able to accomplish during night and weekend work,”The two entities will also be making the Fairmont commuter line free and making Bluebikes more accessible.
“While this service change will be challenging for our riders, they have let me know that they appreciate that we are committed to improving their travels,” said General Manager Eng. Once the work is complete, the MBTA said 28 speed restrictions will be alleviated in the area, improving travel times dramatically for Ashmont Branch and Mattapan Line riders -- cutting about 9 minutes off the northbound trip time from Ashmont to Park Street, 7 minutes from the southbound side, and about a minute in each direction between Ashmont and Mattapan.
