The Lechmere stop is the north-eastern terminus of the MBTA Green Line. It is located in East Cambridge, Massachusetts, near the intersection Cambridge Street and the O'Brien Highway.
Lechmere station is near the former site of a well known department store by the same name. The store has been replaced by a large shopping mall. There is a proposal to extend the Green Line north to Somerville, Massachusetts and Medford, Massachusetts, perhaps ending at Tufts University. This plan would require relocating the Lechmere station to the east side of the O'Brien Highway. The new station might also serve as the southern anchor for the proposed extension of the Somerville Community Path.
Accessibility
The station is accessible when served by the MBTA's newer low-floor light rail vehicles. It is an alternative to the non-accessible Science Park stop for visiting the Museum of Science, Boston. See MBTA accessibility.
