A year after MBTA officials closed the Lynn commuter rail station without a plan for a temporary station in place, construction is due to start on platforms that will resume rail service to the city.

The news came as part of a package of fall service disruptions announced Monday afternoon to make way for various repairs, upgrades and construction on the T’s train and subway lines, along with another episode of Government Center Garage demolition.

Trains from Newburyport and Rockport will end at Swampscott over the weekend of Sept. 9 and 10, the T said, with riders being bussed the rest of the way to North Station. The work will let construction crews begin work on temporary platforms just east of the current Lynn commuter rail and bus station at a city-owned parking lot at the corner of Silsbee and Ellis streets.

According to a project update posted online this month, the T now estimates the interim station will open in April 2024.

Community leaders, real estate developers and transit advocates alike had slammed the T’s surprise decision to close the Lynn station in July 2022, later postponed until October 2022. The city had become a development hot-spot in recent years in part thanks to its commuter rail station, which connected residents of new buildings developed by Procopio Cos. and others to downtown Boston in about 20 minutes.

The T said the station itself and the attached parking garage built in 1991 were quickly falling apart and needed to be replaced, along with a series of bridges that take the commuter rail through downtown Lynn, in a $72 million project that T officials said last year would take until 2030 to complete.

Monday’s service changes also come after the T announced it was closing the Red Line’s Ashmont Branch and the Mattapan light rail line for a month this fall in a bid to get them back up to normal operating speeds with an intensive period of construction.
