Wollaston Station In Quincy Reopens Friday

QUINCY, MA — After almost two years of construction, Wollaston Station will reopen at the start of Red Line service Friday. Prior to its closure, Wollaston was the last of 22 stations on the Red Line that was not ADA compliant, according to MBTA officials.

The station closed in January 2018 for a $36 million renovation project, which sought to make public transportation accessible for disabled riders. Following Wollaston's renovations, the Red Line became the first fully accessible train line for the MBTA, officials said.

New improvements, including three elevators, two escalators and additional walking paths, addressed those issues. New bathrooms and energy-efficient lighting were also added.

"With reconstruction, Wollaston has been transformed into a modern, fully accessible facility, which upon its opening, will make the entirety of the Red Line 100 percent accessible," MBTA officials said in a statement.
