Learn more about how to navigate through South Station during construction.
Construction zones on Atlantic Avenue and adjacent to Track 13 were established in 2020, and the Tower Work Zone was established in March 2021. The train platform area has been expanded around the Tower Work Zone, providing access to all tracks. Passengers will need to use the new bifold doors near Tracks 1 and 2 to access the outdoor concourse and platforms.
Current Impacts:
The Tower Work Zone at the ends of Tracks 5, 6, 7 and 8 has been modified resulting in altered paths of travel for pedestrians.
Commuters traveling between the South Station train concourse and the South Station bus terminal are encouraged to use the Platform A walkway adjacent to Track 1 to bypass the expanded Atlantic Avenue construction zone.
Construction of the new structure above the tracks is ongoing. Once completed, this structure will become the expanded bus terminal and parking garage.
Check the MBTA Commuter Rail Service Alerts for more information.
