The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) is investing $225 million in state-of-good repair work on its heavy rail lines.
MARTA’s track replacement project will involve replacing heavy rail between the Lindbergh Center, Buckhead and Lenox stations. The project is scheduled to be completed Feb 22. All rail service between the stations will be suspended during the work.
“These ongoing upgrades are designed to improve [our] rail lines and are federally required for us to operate a safe and secure system,” said MARTA General Manager and Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Parker in a press release.
The project is a multiyear effort that involves replacing track and switches throughout the rail system.
