WAKEFIELD, MA - Commuter Rail track work at Wakefield’s Greenwood Street train crossing will prompt detours in town beginning on Friday night, Wakefield Police announced on Thursday.

Keolis, which operates the Commuter Rail system for the MBTA, will have crews on site replacing railroad tracks at the Greenwood Street rail crossing beginning on Friday night at 9 p.m.

Work will continue through Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m., according to Wakefield Police.
