MBTA to replace more track along Green Line E branch

The Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA) will complete 600 additional feet of track replacement and crosswalk improvements along Green Line’s E Branch from 78 South Huntington Ave. to Heath Street. 

During the first week of the E Branch full access closure, the MBTA identified additional areas for improvement through track inspections on South Huntington Avenue as well as through community feedback regarding the condition of pedestrian crossings, MBTA officials said in a press release.

By completing this work now, the MBTA will deliver improvements for riders, pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists along the E Branch corridor, and minimize future service disruptions and inconvenience, MBTA officials said.

This added scope of work will also include improvements at five crosswalks: one at Back of the Hill Station; a pair at the intersection of South Huntington Avenue and Heath Street; and a pair at the ends of the Heath Street Station platform.
