Cambridge Street near North Anderson Street. MBTA conceptual designs created in 2020 and released in 2021 also maintained the station configuration, with the new MGH entrance incorporated. Potential designs not chosen included one with a below-grade fare mezzanine for both lines, and one with the Blue Line platform located on the north side of Charles Circle. Construction was planned to last from 2025 to 2030.

damaged plaster, and the mezzanine level was overcrowded. The platforms were pitted, columns were rusted, and paint was peeling. Three options were developed in a 2000 design report: rehabilitation of the existing station with added elevators, a new surface-level station entrance slightly to the east inside the traffic circle, and a surface-level entrance at Cedar Street with a footbridge above the tracks and ramps down to the platforms. The second option was recommended.

In June 2003, the MBTA began its $ 34.4 million reconstruction of the station – part of a $ 48.6 million project that also realigned
Charles Circle. Temporary staircases directly to the platforms were opened in May 2004. The pedestrian bridges were removed, and the original headhouses were

A 2018 update which analyzed multiple tunneling methods maintained this station configuration. In April 2019, the MBTA indicated plans to spend $ 15 million to design the connector in a five-year spending plan. In April 2021, MGH released the Draft

No further progress was made until 1930, when the BERy and BTD reached an agreement for a $ 350,000 station with four-car platforms. The cost reduction was achieved by having the platforms on the straight track west of
Charles Street, rather than the curve to the east. Plans for the station were

In 1961, the pedestrian underpass was replaced by a pair of footbridges, with the south footbridge forked to reach both sides of
Charles Street. The second story was modified to serve as a fare mezzanine, with a low ceiling under the trackway. Openings were cut in the walls to accommodate the
