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:

• A work zone in front of Tracks 5 & 6 is now in place to allow for construction of elevator shafts between the new South Station Concourse and Bus Terminal. This work zone will remain in place for the duration of the project. Access to Tracks 5 & 6 will be maintained.

• Stairway and ramp access between the station concourse and Atlantic Avenue is now restricted in order to construct a new permanent ramp and stairway. This work zone expansion will remain in place for approximately 3 to 4 months. For accessible access to and from Atlantic Avenue, please use the main entrance at the front of South Station at the corner of Atlantic Avenue and Summer Street, or the Track 1 platform via the Bus Terminal entrance on Atlantic Avenue.

• 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.
