    MBTA Service Suspensions: Upgrades for Faster Commutes

    Major MBTA Service Suspensions Announced: Orange Line & Commuter Rail Lines to Close for Signal System Upgrades The MBTA has announced significant service suspensions affecting the Orange Line and four Commuter Rail lines from late February to late March. These closures are part of a project to upgrade old signal systems, improving train reliability and reducing delays. The affected Commuter Rail lines are Fitchburg, Haverhill, Lowell, and Newburyport over Rockport. The suspensions will occur on select weekends, with the first set taking place from February 21-22, and the last from March 28-29. Due to these closures, commuters should expect longer travel times, with shuttle buses replacing train service. The additional travel time can range from ten to seventy minutes, depending on the route. For instance, Haverhill Line riders can transfer to the Orange Line at North Station and Oak Grove, adding only ten minutes to their journey. The Orange Line will also be closed between Back Bay and Forest Hills from February 28 to March 8. Commuters can opt for a ten-minute Commuter Rail ride or a twenty-minute free shuttle to Downtown Crossing. These upgrades will replace outdated signals with modern microprocessor technology around North Station, benefiting both MBTA and Amtrak trains. Commuters are advised to check the MBTA app or website for updates and allow extra time for their commute to avoid stress. Checkout https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
