DORCHESTER, MASS. (WHDH) - The MBTA says workers are almost done making repairs at the JFK/UMass station in Dorchester.
Crews spent the weekend fixing structural problems with the pedestrian bridge entrance to the stop on Columbia Road. That entrance is expected to reopen by the end of the week.
Last month, the MBTA has released images of structural issues that led to the closure of the Columbia Road entrance. The images show rusted bolts, cracked concrete, and exposed rebar.
The station is the one where a Boston University professor fell to his death from a rusted out staircase last year. His family is suing the MBTA and the state, saying the stairs weren’t properly blocked off.
