The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s (MBTA) parking garage at Alewife Station partially reopened on Feb. 8. Garage levels G, 2, 3, and 4 reopened to drivers, while Level 5 remains closed and there is no access to the lobby floor.
The MBTA continues to repair damage from a vehicle that crashed into the top floor of the Alewife parking garage on Feb. 4, sending a barrier and concrete debris onto the station below.
Shuttle buses have replaced Red Line service between Alewife and Davis. Customers will board these shuttle buses at the busway at Alewife Station. MBTA staff and Transit Ambassadors remain present during service hours to assist customers. Signs also direct customers to the bus shuttle area.
The MBTA is working to resume Red Line service this week utilizing the Russell Field headhouse, which is a two-minute walk from the garage.
Before the headhouse can be used, the T needs to provide riders with a safe and accessible pathway. The T is currently installing signage and lighting along a path and providing customers access through a tunnel under the Alewife Brook Parkway to reach the headhouse.
