The MBTA will suspend some weekend Red Line service to prepare for winter
Some weekend Red Line riders will be affected by the MBTA’s efforts to get ready for the upcoming winter.
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation has announced weekend service suspensions along parts of the Red Line beginning Saturday, October 31.
The suspensions will allow crews to work on the MBTA’s Winter Resiliency Improvement Program.
The MBTA will suspend Red Line service this weekend, October 31 and November 1, between JFK/UMass and Quincy Center stations. On weekends in November, service will also be suspended November 7–8 between JFK/UMass and Park Street Stations, as well as November 14-15 and November 21-22 between JFK/UMass and Braintree Stations.
On weekends, shuttle buses will replace Red Line trains along the affected routes.
Full service will resume each Monday.
