Governor Healey broke ground on the $1.3 billion replacement of Draw One, the 1931 drawbridge carrying every northside Commuter Rail line and the Amtrak Downeaster into North Station, which will grow from four tracks to six.

The FTA closed its last special directive on 11 September 2026, ending four years of federal supervision of MBTA safety that began after a string of derailments, runaway trains and a Red Line death in 2022.

The $1.3 billion replacement of North Station's Draw One drawbridge is due to finish in fall 2032, adding two tracks over the Charles River and two station tracks for the northside Commuter Rail and the Amtrak Downeaster.
