Track work in 2018–19, which included replacement of platform edges at several stops, triggered requirements for accessibility modifications at those stops.[4] Design for Sutherland Road and four other B Branch stops was 30% complete by December 2022.[5] A design shown in March 2024 called for the platforms to be rebuilt at their current locations.[6] In May 2024, the Federal Transit Administration awarded the MBTA $67 million to construct accessible platforms at 14 B and C branch stops including Sutherland Road.[7] As of June 2024[update], construction is expected to start in fall 2025.[8]
