![]() The Massachusetts Turnpike was extended from Route 128 in Weston to I-93 in downtown Boston. ![]() ![]() The Boston & Worcester became part of the Boston and Albany Railroad in 1867, which itself was leased by the New York Central Railroad in 1900. Around this time, a new station building was built in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. Third and fourth tracks through the station were built in 1884. Ī village petition around 1870 resulted in the station being renamed as simply Newton. Newton Corner was among the most popular stations, with ridership of 26,000 in 1866. A second track was added in 1839, and in 1843 the railroad began offering season fares for around $60, making it one of the first commuter rail systems. The station was located on the south side of the tracks west of Centre Street. The Boston and Worcester Railroad opened the segment from downtown Boston to West Newton on April 7, 1834, with a station called Newton Corner opening then or soon after in the Angier's Corner neighborhood. History Commuter rail Postcard of the 1880s-built sttaion ![]() Newton Corner is now a stop and transfer point for MBTA routes 52, 57, 501, 504, 553, 554, 556, and 558, which include express routes to downtown Boston as well as local routes, with stops on the north and south sides of the rotary. A streetcar stop, located on the surface streets, served a number of routes beginning in 1863, including the Green Line A branch until 1969. The Newton Corner station, known simply as Newton for much of its lifetime, served commuters on the Worcester Line (run by the New York Central Railroad and its predecessors) from 1834 to 1959. Further study is warranted to clarify operational, right-of-way, and environmental issues.Newton Corner is an MBTA bus transfer point in the Newton Corner neighborhood of Newton, Massachusetts, located on the rotary where Washington Street crosses the Massachusetts Turnpike. The evaluation indicated that Alternatives 2 and 4 appear to be the most effective in relieving congestion in the vicinity of Newton Corner. The selected alternatives, all tested for 2030 traffic conditions, are:Īlternative 1: Future no-build alternativeĪlternative 2: Add an I-90 westbound off-ramp to North Beacon Street (Route 20)Īlternative 3: Add a westbound on-ramp and an eastbound off-ramp at Interchange 16Īlternative 4: Install tolls at the I-90 eastbound on-ramps at Interchanges 16 and 17Īlternative 5: Modify traffic operations for the east-side bridge approach Also, CTPS staff worked with a study advisory committee to develop 10 initial improvement concepts, to select five for final analysis, and to evaluate the alternatives based on the objectives of the study. To perform the study, staff used information from an earlier study, I-90 Interchange 17 (Newton Corner): Traffic Patterns and Operational and Safety Improvements, and applied the MPO’s regional model to test the alternatives. The purpose of this study was to explore long-term improvements to relieve congestion in the vicinity of Newton Corner.
