đĸ Red Line: Delays of up to 15 minutes due to signal problem near Central. Trains are being asked to stand by at stations.
đĸ Red Line riders can expect longer travel times on the Braintree Branch nightly from 8 PM, to end of service. This is to allow for critical signal work near JFK/UMass.
How Long Will the Work Take: To accomplish this work, four phases of temporary evening service changes will continue through April. Each phase should take about two weeks to complete.
How Much Longer Will my Trip Be: Riders should budget an additional 10 â 15 minutes of travel time during this work.
When is the Next Phase: Likely beginning March 15 with longer travel times on the Ashmont Branch.
Why are we Doing This: This work is part of a signal modernization project in Columbia Junction near JFK/UMass. Signals in this area were significantly damaged by a derailment in 2019.
