The MBTA is  reminding riders that Green Line B branch service will be suspended between Kenmore and Boston College for nine consecutive days, April 22 – 30.  

The MBTA will perform work on a number of critical projects on the B branch during this nine-day service outage, including infrastructure improvements, the continued installation of Green Line Train Protection System (GLTPS) infrastructure, the replacement of the 130-year-old wooden overhead catenary wire “trough” near the Green Line portals, and necessary maintenance work to maintain the system.

Riders can find complete information at mbta.com/GreenLine. More information on these service changes and alternate travel options is below:

• Free and accessible shuttle buses will replace service between Kenmore and Boston College.

• Shuttle buses will not stop at Griggs Street, Allston Street, and Packard’s Corner due to accessibility issues.

• The service suspension will be extended to Copley during the weekend of April 25 – 26.

• Green Line frequency will be reduced between Copley and Government Center. Riders are encouraged to utilize Orange Line service at Back Bay for continued service through downtown.
