Lechmere station is a light rail station in Lechmere Square in East Cambridge, Massachusetts, near the intersection of Cambridge Street and Monsignor O'Brien Highway . An elevated station is under construction nearby as part of the Green Line Extension, replacing the former surface-level station, which closed on May 24, 2020. The bus terminal at the old station remains open as a transfer point between MBTA bus routes and Lechmere–North Station shuttle buses until the new station opens. The new station will be served by the D branch and E branch of the MBTA Green Line upon its planned April 2021 opening.
The Lechmere Viaduct was opened in 1912 with an incline to Lechmere Square, allowing streetcars from Cambridge Street and Bridge Street to reach the Tremont Street subway. In 1922, the Boston Elevated Railway opened a prepayment transfer station at Lechmere, separating the surface streetcars from the tunnel routes. The station was served by various tunnel routes ; the surface streetcars were replaced by buses. Lechmere station had two platforms on opposite sides of a balloon loop, with a small storage yard inside the loop. Lechmere was the northern terminus of the Green Line until it closed for construction of the Green Line Extension project. The replacement station will be elevated on the east side of the O'Brien Highway adjacent to the North Point neighborhood.
