MBTA ALERT: No Lowell Line Service In Wilmington On August 16, 17, 23 & 24

Below is an announcement from the MBTA:

BOSTON, MA — The MBTA recently announced service changes in August on the Blue, Orange, Lowell, and Fitchburg lines.

Riders can find more information on service changes through in-station signage, in-station public announcements, and at mbta.com/PlannedWork. Transit Ambassadors and MBTA staff will be available on-site to offer information and assistance during these service changes. Riders are encouraged to subscribe to T-Alerts or to follow the MBTA on X @MBTA, @MBTA_CR, and @MBTA_CR_Alerts for up-to-date service information.

On the Lowell Commuter Rail Line

The MBTA will perform work on the High Line Bridge Replacement Project in Somerville in August. The High Line Bridge carries the Lowell Line over the High Line access road as well as a railroad yard in Somerville between North Station and West Medford. When complete, the project will provide safer, more resilient, more reliable service on the Lowell Line; bring the bridge into a state of good repair; reduce future maintenance costs; and reduce unplanned service impacts and delays.

To accomplish this work, the following service suspension will take place:

• Lowell Commuter Rail Line service will be suspended between North Station and Lowell during the following dates:
  • Beginning at approximately 10 PM on Friday, August 15, and continuing through the entire weekend, August 16 – 17.
  • Beginning at approximately 10 PM on Friday, August 22, and continuing through the entire weekend, August 23 – 24.
  • A dedicated diversion schedule will be available on mbta.com.
  • Free and accessible shuttle bus service will replace train service between North Station and Lowell.
  • There will be no shuttle bus service at Winchester Center. Passengers should instead use Wedgemere Station as an alternative shuttle bus location.
