Green Line train service between Lechmere and Union Square Stations will be suspended for 42 days from July 18 to August 28. This service change is due to critical repair work by MassDOT on the Squire Bridge, which crosses over tracks near Union Square Station. Alternate travel options include the following:

• Riders headed from Union Square Station can instead utilize Route 86 (boarding at Somerville Ave. opp Stone Ave. and alighting at Washington St. at New Washington St.) and Route 91 (boarding at Prospect St. at Bennett Ct. and alighting at Washington St. at New Washington St.) bus service from the Union Square to East Somerville Station areas for continued service on the Medford/Tufts branch.
   
• Riders headed to Union Square Station can instead board Medford/Tufts Branch service to East Somerville Station and then utilize Routes 86 and 91 bus service (boarding at Washington St. at Tufts St. and alighting at Somerville Ave. at Stone Ave.) to the Union Square area.
   
• Riders may also utilize Route 87 bus service by boarding at Lechmere Station and alighting in the Union Square area at Somerville Ave. at Stone Ave.

The MBTA announced service changes in July on the Red, Green, Orange, Kingston, Middleborough, Greenbush, and Worcester lines.   See the complete list of changes here.
