Wollaston Station Reopens Friday, August 16
Updated on August 15, 2019
Red Line trains have not stopped at Wollaston since January 8, 2018, when we began a full station overhaul and rebuild. When it reopens Friday, August 16, 2019, you’ll find a fully accessible, modern station, including:
- 3 new elevators
- 2 new escalators
- 2 additional stairways
- Accessible bathrooms
- New pedestrian pathways to and around the station
- 2 additional fare gates to reduce lines at the station
After the station opens, we’ll have a few more tasks to complete that won’t impact Red Line service at the station, including:
- Repaving Newport Ave from Brook St to Beale St
- Repaving Greenwood Ave from Woodbine St to Beale St
We look forward to welcoming you to the new, improved Wollaston Station.
