Sliding door access is now available between the terminal and concourse at the ends of Tracks 5-10 to accommodate the new work zones. The Atlantic Avenue ramp and stairway provide additional accessible routes to the concourse.
Suffolk Construction, the contractor for the South Station Air Rights Project, will continue daytime and overnight construction at South Station.
As this project is nearing completion, we will provide email updates at key project milestones moving forward. During construction, crews will continue to work as efficiently as possible to minimize impacts to the traveling public. We appreciate your patience and engagement during this time.
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.
