（Boston Orange編譯）波士頓市政府與麻州地鐵局（Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, MBTA）6月2日公佈世界盃期間南站（South Station）周邊夏季街（Summer Street）交通管制方案，將依比賽日程實施部分或全面封路，以兼顧通勤需求、社區通行及數萬名觀賽旅客的交通疏運。
根據計畫，6月13日、19日、29日及7月9日四場賽事期間，夏季街（Summer Street）介於多切斯特大道（Dorchester Avenue）與大西洋大道（Atlantic Avenue）路段將封街8小時；6月16日、23日及26日三場賽事則僅開放西向（北側）車道通行。當天車流方向將視人潮與交通需求調整，由公共安全單位統一指揮。
波士頓市府將協助執行停車限制、交通管制及安全維護措施。MBTA也將在南站周邊設置臨時安檢與排隊空間；必要時，當局可增設臨時交通限制或封閉車道以管理人潮。市府與MBTA將於每場賽事後檢討執行情況，調整後續作業安排。
這項協議也化解了雙方先前爭議。MBTA原擬透過臨時徵收權（eminent domain）取得相關空間使用權，如今將撤回通知；波士頓市府則同意核發所需的場地使用許可（Occupancy Permit），確保世界盃期間交通與安全規劃順利推進。
CITY OF BOSTON AND MBTA ANNOUNCE PLANS FOR SUMMER STREET TO SUPPORT WORLD CUP MATCHES
BOSTON — Tuesday, June 2, 2026 — The City of Boston and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) today announced a plan regarding Summer Street closures around South Station to support both local and regional commuters, neighborhood access, and the thousands of passengers heading to the seven World Cup matches at Boston Stadium this summer.
"Boston was recently ranked the safest US host city for the World Cup, and we’re proud of our track record of careful coordination between City and State partner agencies hosting major events where residents and visitors alike have a smooth, welcoming experience in Boston,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “We’re counting down the days to showcase our city this summer and look forward to connecting visitors to enjoy not only the special events hosted in Boston, but also our beautiful public spaces, fantastic restaurants and unique small businesses. Consistent with our usual process for planning large scale events, we are pleased that our City and State teams have developed a shared plan for Summer Street that will ensure public safety, efficient access, and clear coordination."
“Safety has always been the MBTA’s top priority, and this plan allows both the MBTA and the City to keep security paramount while also maintaining street flexibility,” said Interim Secretary of Transportation and MBTA General Manager and CEO Phillip Eng. “Thank you to Mayor Wu and City staff for collaborating with us as we best support both our global World Cup passengers and the greater Boston Community.”
During all seven matches, the City of Boston will support the MBTA with parking and traffic restrictions, temporary traffic control, and other securing measures.
Summer Street will be fully closed to vehicular traffic between Dorchester Avenue and Atlantic Avenue for eight hours in support of World Cup matches on June 13, June 19, June 29, and July 9.
For matches held on June 16, June 23, and June 26, Summer Street will be open to vehicular traffic on the westbound (north) side only.
The direction of travel will be coordinated based on the demands of the respective day and time. Public safety and security officials will coordinate with incident command and make decisions as needed in the interest of public safety. This may include additional temporary traffic restrictions and lane closures to accommodate crowd management.
Summer Street will be fully closed to vehicular traffic between Dorchester Avenue and Atlantic Avenue while the MBTA sets up the temporary security screening and queuing space for all seven matches in the interest of employee safety. Residents and visitors are encouraged to avoid the area if possible and to take public transportation if they have to travel to the area.
The City of Boston and the MBTA will also review the Summer Street closures following each match and review the plan to improve operations and the visitor experience.
With this plan in place, the MBTA will withdraw its temporary eminent domain letter to the City of Boston, and the City of Boston will issue the MBTA the necessary Occupancy Permit.
