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.

What to Expect During This Work

Crews will work from 8 AM to 3 PM, Monday through Friday—this work is expected to continue for approximately six to eight weeks.

Neighborhood impacts

To allow for this work, Bacon Street traffic will be detoured during work hours. We encourage drivers to avoid the area or seek alternate routes to avoid delays. Those traveling through the area should reduce speed and use caution.

We will also install variable message boards to display up-to-date information before any major construction begins. The project schedule is weather dependent and subject to change without notice.

Email updates will be sent prior to future activities that have significant noise or traffic impacts.
