Track work in 2018–19, which included replacement of platform edges at several stops (not including Griggs Street), triggered requirements for accessibility modifications at those stops. Planning for modifications to five B Branch stops began in 2021.[6] In 2024, Griggs Street and the other remaining non-accessible B Branch stops were added to the project.[7][8][9] As of July 2026[update], the MBTA expects to issue the $73 million design-build contract in August 2026, with construction lasting from mid-2027 to late 2028.[10]
