Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

[RandomWalk]

They’re setting steel for the School Street bridge today, so maybe it will open in the spring.

Gilman seems least/last done, but some of that is that it is the best construction access point and needed to be "dirt-rampy" even as the other stations get "sealed-raily"

Washington bridge is closed today

Ball Sq platform concrete looks far along --ready for the canopy poles

This is my first time seeing this - what a fantastic find! The Lechmere Station panorama also has a great view of Cambridge Crossing Parcel I construction.

With all this webcams there is no need to go to the stations and take pictures

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Webcams are great, but they still don't compare to your work!

 

[RandomWalk]

The webcams also don’t cover Magoun Square station or the large swaths of ROW.

Also the webcams are more panoramic and don't provide close-up shots that Javier and others have been so great at providing.

Ok, I will continue Taking pictures, It’s fun anyways

These threads also provide great historical reference even when webcam feeds are long gone, I've used ArchBoston threads to find construction photos and articles on projects at work before, this community documents projects in such detail that no city agency does.

Ball Square is looking pretty swish

 

[RandomWalk]

How long before the MBTA closes the track-level crossing at Ball Square, in favor of the bridge entrance only?

The middle OCS poles are provisioned for Commuter Rail Electrification, correct? Is that retaining wall on the commuter rail side on the extreme edge of the ROW? It seems like there's no space for overhead catenary poles to fit.
