Suffolk Construction, the contractor for the South Station Air Rights Project, will continue daytime and overnight construction at South Station.
Please allow extra time (5 – 10 minutes) as you get used to new construction zones and paths of travel at the station. Trains might arrive and depart on a different track than what is typical. Be sure to check your track number before boarding.

ACTIVITY RELATING TO THE OVERBUILD STRUCTURE
The overbuild structure will support the expanded bus terminal and currently covers Tracks 1-13. Construction on the overbuild structure continues above the track level.
The contractor continues to place concrete on the overbuild structure and install mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services within the building.
Crews continue to work at night in the railyard to install supports for the platform lighting, PA and Variable Messaging System, along with electrical conduit between Tracks 4-5 and Tracks 6-7. This work may modify the paths of travel at the ends of the tracks during overnight hours.
Crews also continue to install ventilation ductwork above Tracks 1 and 2, and are constructing a wall next to the Track 1 platform.
TRACK 13 WORK ZONE ACTIVITY
The contractor continues metal panel installation work at Track 13. Due to this work, Track 13 is occasionally out of service at night along with minor service impacts during the day.
TOWER WORK ZONE ACTIVITY
In the Tower Work Zone, crews continue to construct the tower core and the supporting steel structure.

SUMMER STREET PLAZA ACTIVITY
Work in the Summer Street Plaza continues behind construction barriers. This area serves as the main access point for Tower Work Zone construction. A uniformed police officer is stationed in the area when the gate is in use.
ATLANTIC AVENUE WORK ZONE ACTIVITY
Crews continue installing rebar and concrete slabs, along with completing the remaining structural steel work.
Crews also continue foundation work within the Atlantic Avenue Work Zone.
REMINDERS
Pedestrian travel routes will be maintained at all times and clearly delineated. There will be access to CharlieCard validators used for the Fairmount Line.
Commuters traveling between the South Station 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 Work Zone.
