This work requires power to be turned off along the affected portion of the line. Blue Line-Library service will serve its normal stops between the North Shore and Washington Junction, then detour to South Hills Village.

The T stops affected by this detour will be served instead by bus shuttles operating in both directions between Washington Junction and Library Station.
