The MBTA is today reminding riders that Red Line service will be suspended between Alewife and Park Street for 10 consecutive days, July 21 – 30. 

The MBTA will continue essential infrastructure upgrades, track renewal, and other critical revitalization work on the Red Line, including the replacement of floating slabs. Signal upgrades will also take place. 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.
