It was still slow going on the Green Line over the weekend, as the speed restrictions remained in place after the T identified potential “multiple defects” on parts of the track.

The MBTA had been optimistic they’d be able to lift the 25 mph-cap speed restrictions on Saturday, but that plan was derailed for the perpetually maligned state agency.

“Speed restriction of 10-25 mph remains in place on Green Line from end-to-end,” the MBTA tweeted on Sunday, as green-clad paradegoers flocked to the city for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. “T has identified portions of track which may include multiple defects that need to be investigated or mitigated.

“As each defect is validated and corrected as needed, that track portion will be able to have the speed restriction lifted,” the MBTA added. “Speed restrictions are in place for the safety of employees and customers.”

On Saturday, the MBTA said the T had identified 30 speed limit signs that needed to be relocated on the Green Line, and that work was taking place on Saturday.

“After that work is completed, the MBTA will re-run test trains on the entire line,” the T said in a Saturday statement. “The MBTA apologizes for the continued disruption to service for its riders.”

End-to-end speed restrictions were lifted on the Mattapan Line Thursday and on the Red, Blue and Orange Lines last Friday.

The entire system was slowed down to 10-25 mph last Thursday, March 8, following negative findings from a Red Line track inspection conducted by the Department of Public Utilities.

Interim General Manager Jeffrey Gonneville ordered a systemwide speed restriction after the MBTA was unable to produce paperwork requested by the DPU, which would have confirmed the results of magnetized track inspections conducted by the T in February for most lines, and March for the Green Line.

The documentation was incomplete, and missing entirely in some cases, making it impossible to know what parts of the system were safe or where track repairs were still needed.
