More diversions possible, MBTA chief says as Orange Line work progresses  

The MBTA will look at where else in the system a “diversion” would be appropriate to tackle long-delayed track and system repair, General Manager Steve Poftak said Sunday while touring the shuttered Orange Line with the governor.

“We’re going to take a look at where a diversion might be appropriate in other places and you know we’ll obviously work with our municipal partners and clearly communicate,” he said. “We have been doing diversions over the years, never one of the breadth of this one, I think, you know, we’ll take a look at what strategy makes the most sense.”

Since 9 p.m. on August 19th, the Orange Line has been stopped completely as crews work to replace track and upgrade signals in an attempt to remove six standing speed restrictions on the busy subway line.  https://www.bostonherald.com/2022/08/28/more-diversions-possible-mbta-chief-says-as-orange-line-work-progresses/
