The New England Medical Center station is a location along Boston's Orange Line subway and Silver Line bus rapid transit lines. It is named for the cluster of hospitals that it is built under, and is located on Washington Street in downtown Boston, between Kneeland Street and the Massachusetts Turnpike. It was built during the late 1960s during what were to be the early stages of the abandoned Interstate 695 project, in anticipation of the future abandonment of the Washington Street Elevated, but was not put into service until nearly 20 years later, in 1987.
