Even though winter weather is upon us, construction is ongoing on the MBTA’s South Coast Rail project.

The service will link Fall River, New Bedford and Taunton to Boston by commuter train for the first time since the 1950s. 

Originally due to open in late 2023, the South Coast Rail line has faced construction delays and is now projected to open in the middle of 2024. To make it on time, work still needs to take place in some key areas.
