Sutherland Road station
Sutherland Road station serves as a light rail stop on the MBTA Green Line B branch. It is situated within the median of Commonwealth Avenue at the intersection with Sutherland Road, in the Brighton neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. The station features two side platforms positioned alongside the B branch's dual tracks. These platforms are located at track level, and the station currently lacks accessibility accommodations.
During 2018–19, track maintenance activities, including the replacement of platform edges, initiated requirements for accessibility improvements. By December 2022, design work for upgrades at Sutherland Road and four additional B Branch stations had reached 30% completion. A design proposal from March 2024 recommended reconstructing the platforms in their existing locations. In May 2024, the Federal Transit Administration granted $67 million to the MBTA for building accessible platforms at 14 stops across the B and C branches, encompassing Sutherland Road. Further stations were incorporated into this initiative later in 2024.
The MBTA intends to issue a request for bids on a $74 million design-build contract by May 2025, with construction anticipated to commence in fall 2025 and conclude by mid-2027.
