Elevator Replacements and Reopenings
Updated on October 17, 2023
We’re pleased to announce the replacement and reopening of two station elevators.
At State Street, elevator 802 (a redundant elevator which connects the Oak Grove Orange Line platform to the corridor between the Orange and Blue Lines) has been replaced and is now back in service. At Quincy Adams, elevator 805 has been replaced and is now back in service.
All four elevators have now been replaced at Quincy Adams, and with redundant elevators serving the platform, it is the eleventh Red Line station to have redundant elevator service in place.
Later in 2023, elevator projects at Central Square, Downtown Crossing, and Jackson will be put out to bid. Designs for redundant elevators at Broadway, Chinatown, Davis, Mass Ave, North Station, and State are progressing, with construction funding still to be identified.
