On the Blue Line
During one weekend in May, the MBTA will continue essential infrastructure upgrades, track renewal, and other critical revitalization work on the Blue Line. This regular, planned renewal and revitalization work is ongoing and continuous, ensuring the long-term stability of our infrastructure and preserving the system for future generations of riders.
To accomplish this work, the following service suspensions will take place:
Blue Line service will be suspended between Bowdoin and Airport during the weekend of May 9 – 10.
โฆ Free and accessible shuttle buses will make stops at Airport, Maverick, and Haymarket for Orange and Green Line connections in the downtown area.
โฆ Shuttle buses will not stop at Aquarium, State, Government Center, or Bowdoin.
โฆ Fare gates will be open at all Blue Line stations between Airport
and Wonderland.
โฆ Riders may also use the East Boston Ferry, which will be free during this service change with trips departing every 30 minutes
from 6 AM to 9 AM, every 15 minutes from 9 AM to 9 PM, and a trip at 9๎30 PM. A schedule will be posted soon at MBTA.com/
EastBostonFerry.
โฆ Accessible van service will be available within the downtown area. Riders should see station personnel for assistance.
โฆ Riders using shuttles bus service should budget ample extra travel time. For example, a rider traveling to Government Center
from Wonderland should budget at least an additional 30 to 40 minutes of travel in additional to their regular commute.
