Overnight GLX Work In Medford Could Get Noisy

MEDFORD, MA – Did you hear an alarm go off (that wasn't yours) last night in Medford? Overnight pre-construction work on the Green Line Extension project began the evening of Tuesday, April 3 and will continue through Friday, April 6.

According to MassDOT, the work involves a leveling device which rides slowly along the rails while making adjustments to the track grade and alignment. The trucks supporting the leveling process may occasionally trigger audible back-up alarms, MassDOT said.

Construction will take place between 11:30 p.m. and 6 a.m. from the College Avenue Bridge to the Harvard Street Bridge along the Lowell Commuter Rail right of way in Medford.

The GLX Team "apologizes for any inconvenience this work may cause, and has instructed work crews to minimize impacts to the community," according to a MassDOT announcement.
