• Orange Line – Shuttle buses will replace trains from Wellington Station to Oak Grove Station.

• Commuter Rail — The Haverhill Line will terminate/originate at Malden Center. Shuttle buses will be provided between Oak Grove Station, Malden Center, and Wellington Station.

Regular MBTA service will resume at the start of service on Monday, January 30, 2017.

Rivers Edge Drive, which travels under Route 16, will be closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic with Wellington Circle and Santilli Circle as the alternate route to reverse direction.
