South Elm Street Bridge project has been completed

June 25, 2025 (BOSTON, MA) – Keolis Commuter Services (Keolis), the MBTA’s operations and maintenance partner for Commuter Rail, announced that Haverhill Station will fully open on Monday, June 30 for regular train service. Shuttle vans that were in service between Haverhill and Bradford Station while crews replaced the South Elm Street Bridge will no longer be utilized.

The MBTA used accelerated bridge construction techniques to reduce customer and traffic impacts while replacing the nearly-120-year-old bridge with a modern single-span structure. The new structure includes a ballasted steel deck, which means a smoother ride for passengers. The MBTA also performed roadway, sidewalk, and drainage improvements along South Elm Street.

An updated schedule will be available soon at mbta.com/cr.

Keolis Commuter Services has operated and maintained the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s commuter rail system, the sixth largest commuter rail operation in North America, for over ten years. KCS is a subsidiary of Keolis North America (KNA), both headquartered in Boston, and employs approximately 2,500 people throughout the region.
