Widett Circle

Widett Circle refers to a locale and its encircling roadway in South Boston, Massachusetts that has long been used as a wholesale food market, but which has been proposed for several redevelopment projects.

Located in an industrial zone,[1] it is situated between a bend in Interstate 93 and the MBTA rail yards, near the Massachusetts Avenue connector to I-93.

Potential uses for the site have included: In December 2022, the MBTA Board authorized the agency to negotiate to purchase the property for use as a layover yard.

The new yard will likely include provisions for building an air rights project in the future and may reduce the need for layover facility at the former Beacon Park Yard in Allston.

[10] Amtrak was also interested in laying over trains at Widett Circle.
