Metro Zone

If you are traveling in the Greater Boston area during these times but do not need to travel through the construction zone (shown in deep pink on the map), or do not need to drive directly into Downtown Boston via I-93, you can avoid potential travel delays by taking an alternate route to your destination or try a driving alternative. 

Driving Alternatives

Several commuter rail and bus options are available for travel in this area and can be explored by visiting MassRIDES, MBTA, or the interactive 93NavMap.

Free parking will also be provided during weekends at the Anderson Regional Transit Center, off Commerce Way in Woburn, and there will be supplemental Orange Line service to aid travel in the area. At Anderson RTC, you can access the following services:
