Construction Activity Commences on Atlantic Avenue Next Week

Next week, Suffolk Construction, the contractor for the South Station Air Rights Project, will begin establishing a construction zone on Atlantic Avenue.  To establish this zone, the contractor will begin making curb cuts along Atlantic Avenue, which will involve temporary travel lane closures during off-peak hours (between 9:30 AM and 3:00 PM).  This will be the first activity for Stage 1 of construction for the South Station Air Rights Project.

During the process of making the curb cuts, the contractor will displace the cab parking in the curb cut zones, leaving approximately four spaces at the entrance to the station.  This work should take about five days to complete and will not occur over the weekend.  After the curb cuts are complete, the cab stand by the Atlantic Avenue entrance to South Station will be split into two areas to accommodate access to the construction zone throughout the project.  Signs indicating the new curb use will be posted on Atlantic Avenue.

Access to the South Station train platforms through the Atlantic Avenue entrance will be maintained during construction.
