Count on extra time for commutes tomorrow morning from and to Quincy, Braintree

NOTE: The T says all the repairs were done, so no shuttle buses and no delays!

Tomorrow morning looks to be fun on the Red Line south of the city:

Between 5 and 7 a.m. - and again after 8:30 a.m. - northbound Red Line service will stop at North Quincy, where commuters will have to board buses into Boston. The Red Line will run into town between 7 and 8:30 a.m., but with delays.

Meanwhile, southbound commuters trying to get to Quincy and Braintree should take the train to Ashmont, where they'll find shuttle buses for the rest of the trip.

Reason for this? The state DPW needs to fix the Hancock Street bridge across the Red Line in North Quincy, the MBTA reports.

I wonder this will affect the commuter rail which also crosses the bridge.

All three South Shore commuter rail lines cross the mighty Neponset at Hancock St, but aren't their tracks on a separate trestle?

They're right next to each other, but looks like they may be separate

Red Line ran straight into town from Quincy today (Monday) at 5:45 AM. No construction to be seen.

This note in from Joe Pesaturo at 4:54 a.m.:

The Mass. Highway Department has made the necessary repairs to its Hancock Street bridge to allow Red Line trains to operate beneath it,in both directions. Regular Red Line service will be provided this morning. Shuttle buses will NOT be necessary.
