The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) will open the outbound Kendall/MIT headhouse at the start of passenger service Monday, April 20, 2026.
The outbound headhouse, renovated and funded by BXP in coordination with the Cambridge Redevelopment Authority, features a new glass enclosure with renovated stairs, an escalator, and a new glass additional elevator accessible from the street level, all of which will serve Red Line riders.
Kendall/MIT Station remains fully accessible, and the new redundant elevator will be ready for passenger service once the final phase of headhouse renovation is complete, which is anticipated in early June.
The temporary outbound entrance/exit located at 325 Main Street will be closed with the opening of the new headhouse.
