MBTA Announces Weekend Boarding Changes at Wyoming Hill

The inbound side of Wyoming Hill Station, off Franklin Street between West Wyoming Avenue and Glen Road, closes Saturday, Sept. 12, with work shifting to the outbound side Sunday as accessibility construction continues. Trains will run in both directions all weekend, but riders will be redirected to the opposite platform to board and exit, with temporary signs and customer service representatives on hand both days. The MBTA says the project, expected to be substantially complete by late fall, will add ADA-compliant mini-high platforms and ramps.
