Several MBTA Services Suspended Following Marathon Explosion

Some T stations in the downtown area have been temporarily suspended.

MBTA T service in downtown Boston is in varying stages of suspension as emergency crews respond to the aftermath of at least two explosions at the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon.

The MBTA’s Green Line service between Kenmore and Park Street stations has been shut down as of 3:30 p.m. today, although Green Line service will continue to run between Lechmere and North Station, according to MBTA.com.

Both the Green Line's B and C services have been temporarily suspended, and the D line is only running from Riverside to Fenway.

The Green Line's E service is still running between Northeastern and Brigham Circle. Customers who need service between Brigham Circle and Health Street are being asked to use the Route 39 bus.

In addition, the Red Line is bypassing Park Street Station at this time, with the Red and Orange lines bypassing Downtown Crossing Station.

Currently, only the Blue and Silver lines and the Red Line to Mattapan are unaffected by the incident.

Customers who need transportation in the Back Bay and downtown areas should use the Orange Line to Back Bay and Chinatown stations and the Red Line to South Station, according to the MBTA website.
