Buses will replace trains between Harvard Square and Alewife stations.
The Red Line between Harvard Square and Alewife stations will be shut down on Saturdays and Sundays for four straight weekends, starting on Nov. 17, according to the MBTA's website. The last weekend of the closure will be Dec. 8 and 9. During those weekends, bus service will replace trains between Harvard and Alewife. The MBTA says the closures are taking place so the transportation authority can work on the Floating Slab Project. The Tufts Daily reports that floating concrete slabs rest on rubber disks and are designed to minimize vibrations and wear and tear in the tunnel.

The Red Line will operate on a normal schedule Mondays through Fridays throughout that period. In place of trains, the MBTA will operate buses between Harvard and Alewife stations during weekends. The four months of weekend shutdowns will affect thousands of people. On a typical Saturday, there are about 21,285 fare gate entries at Davis, Porter and Alewife stations, according to Joe …
