  • Green Line Extension Profile
    Green Line Extension Cambridge to Medford, Massachusetts (January 2020) The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) are jointly constructing an extension to the existing Green Line Light Rail Transit (LRT) route from a relocated Lechmere Station in Cambridge to College Avenue in Medford and Union Square in Somerville. The Green Line Extension (GLX) will operate on the exclusive right-of-way of the MBTA Commuter Rail System, adjacent to existing commuter rail service. The project includes six at-grade stations and one elevated station; 3.7 miles of at-grade guideway and one mile of elevated guideway; reconstruction of eight bridge structures to maintain grade separation on the route; and the purchase of 24 light rail vehicles. The GLX project will improve mobility for residents of Cambridge, Somerville and Medford by providing a one-seat transit ride to Downtown Boston and the greater Boston metropolitan area. It will serve some of the region’s most densely populated communities not currently served by rail transit. Approximately 75,300 residents live within one-half mile of proposed stations, 26 percent of whom do not own or have access to an automobile. The project will reduce transit travel time in the project corridor by approximately 13 to 17 minutes because it will be built on fully grade-separated right- of-way through congested built-up neighborhoods, eliminating the need for passengers to make bus-to- rail transfers. Hours of operation in the opening year will be from 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. on weekdays and weekends.
