Planning for modifications to five B Branch stops began in 2021.^[6] In 2024, Griggs Street and the other remaining non-accessible B Branch stops were added to the project.^[7][8][9] As of February 2025^[update], the MBTA plans to advertise the $74 million design-build contract for bidding in May 2025.^[10] Construction is expected to take place from fall 2025 to mid-2027.^[8]
