New Charles Street/MGH temporary T station to open

The MBTA will be opening the temporary Charles Street/MGH T station May 22 at 5:30 am. The elevated walkway from the Charles Street Jail to the MBTA station will remain in place until the permanent station opens in two years. A new set of stairs will connect the elevated walkway to the station entrance. These stairs will bring pedestrians down to the ground level where they can cross three lanes of traffic before entering the temporary station entrance.
