Green Line Extension progresses, massive construction effort underway
the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's (MBTA)
Green Line Extension (GLX)
in the works since 1990.
The extension, which will add a stop at the intersection of College Avenue and Boston Avenue and allow students to commute to the School of the Museum of Fine Arts (SMFA) at Tufts campus in a single ride, has suffered multiple setbacks over the years, including canceled contracts and funding challenges.
Now with federal financing and a new set of contractors, the GLX project is fully underway as officials race to meet the December 2021 completion deadline.
