MARTA will suspend Atlanta Streetcar service in Downtown beginning Monday, Sept. 8, to accommodate urgent underground utility repairs by Georgia Power and infrastructure upgrades by the transit agency.
According to a press release, the service suspension is expected to last approximately three to four months. MARTA will continue to provide transportation along the route with shuttle vans wrapped to look like the streetcar.
The work requires a lane closure between Courtland Street and Peachtree Center Avenue, where Georgia Power will excavate to repair underground electrical lines, MARTA said.
In addition to Georgia Power’s work, MARTA will take advantage of the closure to complete:
- Catenary inspection and repair
- Track maintenance
- Tree trimming
- Station refurbishment
- Signage and vehicle updates
- Deep cleaning along the route
