BOSTON (WHDH) - The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority announced it will be suspending Orange Line service between Sullivan Square and Tufts Medical Center.

The shut down is set to begin Friday at 8:45 p.m. and is scheduled to last for six consecutive weekends.

“We know this is inconvenient for our customers. We appreciate their patience,” MBTA General Manager Steve Poftak said. “We look forward to delivering them improved stations and improved tracks with greater safety and greater reliability.”

Shuttle buses will replace the trains between Sullivan Square and Haymarket stations.

Poftak said this shut down is part of a bigger plan to build a better T.
