A map of the MBTA showing closed stations during an upcoming closure. Most of the Green Line's central stops, from Haymarket to Arlington, are marked with red Xs, indicating closure with no shuttle service. A black line indicating bus shuttles to replace train service runs from the Back Bay Orange Line station to Copley Green Line station, then continues along the B branch to Babcock Street and along the C branch to Cleveland Circle. The D branch will remain open between Riverside and Kenmore, and north of North Station to Medford/Tufts and Union Square. The B branch will remain open west of Babcock.
