History

edit

Massachusetts Avenue opened as part of the second segment of the Euclid Line on May 12, 1989. Also later known as the East Line, the line operated from 12th & Imperial to Spring Street before being extended further east one month later.[5]

This station was renovated from October 17, 2011[7] through fall 2012[6] as part of the Trolley Renewal Project, although the station remained open during construction.
