ATLANTA
– The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) will close its
Airport Station for six weeks from Monday, April 8 through Sunday, May 19 to
renovate the concourse and platform levels. MARTA service will continue to and
from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport via a bus shuttle between
College Park Station and the North Terminal Lower Level, downstairs from North
Baggage Claim, 22 hours a day, 4 a.m. to 2 a.m.
During
this closure, MARTA will remove and replace the floor tiles on the concourse
and platform levels at the station as well as prepare the site for the new
canopy structure. These improvements will enhance the safety and appearance of
the rail station to best serve travelers and employees at the world’s busiest
airport. This six-week station closure is necessary to ensure the safety of
both customers and workers while also significantly reducing the overall
construction time by 17 months.
Beginning
Monday, April 8:
- If you’re flying out or heading to work at the airport,
travel to College Park Station as you normally would and follow the signs
for the shuttle to the airport. The shuttle will drop you at the North
Terminal Lower Level – Doors LN1 and LN2 – conveniently located near the
employee entrance.
- If you’re flying in or heading home from your job at
the airport, follow the signs to Ground Transportation and North Baggage
Claim, and take the stairs, escalator, or elevator down to the North
Terminal Lower Level – Doors LN1 and LN2 – to catch the shuttle to College
Park Station.
- Delta customers should follow the signs from South
Baggage Claim to North Baggage Claim and the North Terminal Lower Level –
Doors LN1 and LN2 – to catch the shuttle to College Park Station.
- International arrivals: Follow signs to
