Airport (MBTA station)
Airport Station is a rapid transit station on the MBTA Blue Line, located under the interchange between Interstate 90 and Massachusetts Route 1A in East Boston, Massachusetts. It acts as one of two mass transit connections to the nearby Logan International Airport, as well as serving local residents in East Boston. At Airport Station, trains switch from the third rail power used in the East Boston Tunnel to overhead wires used on the surface line to Revere. The original brick station built in 1952 was replaced by a modern station with steel and glass canopies in 2004.
==History==
The Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) opened the first phase of the Revere Extension on January 5, 1952, with new stations at Airport, Wood Island, and Orient Heights. This phase connected the East Boston Tunnel at Maverick to the Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn narrow gauge right of way between Wood Island and Orient Heights. For a short distance that includes Airport station, this connecting line follows a right of way, now the East Boston Greenway, that was once used by the Grand Junction Railroad and the Eastern Railroad.
The surface-level Blue Line stations deteriorated over several decades as a result of the salt air found on the North Shore. In April 2000, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority began construction on a $23 million project to replace the station. The new station, located approximately 500 feet east of the old station due to Big Dig relocation of highway ramps, opened June 3, 2004.〔 It is fully handicapped accessible, with the platforms connected by a pedestrian bridge with elevators and has longer platforms than the previous station in order to accommodate 6-car trains (which began operation in 2008).〔 The station includes several features to serve airport travelers, including luggage slides wider escalators and elevators to accommodate travelers with luggage, and monitors with flight information.
Until 2005, Airport Station was the primary transit service from Boston to the airport. As part of Big Dig environmental mitigation, the state was mandated to run Silver Line service to the airport terminals. Full-time service from South Station began on June 1, 2005.〔 This SL1 service has replaced the transfer at Airport station for many travelers, although the station still sees substantial airport traffic.
