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 ON TRACK AND PLATFORMS
The Tower Work Zone has been established at the end of Tracks 7 to 10, where It provides a revised pedestrian travel pathway. Doors leading to the headhouse at the ends of these tracks have been closed.
The common platform has expanded around the work zone, providing direct 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. The other sets of doors are now closed. The contractor has also completed the infill of Tracks 1 and 2, further expanding the platform.
Some minor adjustments to track infrastructure will be completed soon at the ends of Tracks 11 and 12.
The contractor is currently working on the platform adjacent to Track 1 (Platform A). While this work is being completed, the pathway along the north side of the platform has been slightly narrowed and will remain uncovered until the steel erection is substantially completed in this area. The steel erection will begin the process of covering the entire railyard.
The contractor is continuing demolition work in the Tower Work Zone during the day and evenings. The demolition work is intended to be complete by June. Steel sheet piles are scheduled to be installed when the demolition work is complete. This work will be entirely behind the construction barriers, but customers may hear the work and experience vibrations from it.
ACTIVITY IN ATLANTIC AVENUE AREA
A crane, located in the Atlantic Avenue Work Zone, is currently erecting the steel structure for the new bus terminal expansion and parking garage overbuild.
The lane on Atlantic Avenue formerly available for parking will continue to be used for pedestrian access around the work zone while the steel erection work continues.
Commuters traveling between the South Station concourse and the South Station bus terminal are encouraged to use the Platform A walkway to bypass the expanded Atlantic Avenue Work Zone.
