Bicycle storage is available at Bryn Mawr.
Red & Purple Modernization Project
The Bryn Mawr station is being rebuilt as part of this project. The station will receive new wider platforms, new signage, new lights, new security cameras, and new elevators. Reconstruction began in May 2021 and will be completed in 2025.[5][6][7], During Stage A of the reconstruction, the northbound tracks were closed with northbound trains using the southbound side of the current platform and southbound Red Line trains stopping at a temporary side platform. Unlike a similar renovation simultaneously occurring at Argyle, where both platforms used a common temporary entrance, northbound trains used the original entrance while southbound trains used temporary entrance half a block north, not connected to each other inside the paid area.[8] During Stage B (2023-2025), the two western tracks are out of service with the eastern tracks carrying all trains, with a platform located between the tracks. However, only southbound trains stop at Bryn Mawr since there is no space to build a northbound platform.[9]
