ATLANTA – The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) will close its Airport Station for six weeks—April 8 through May 19—to renovate the concourse and platform levels. MARTA advises passengers to allow at least 30 extra minutes when taking MARTA to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
MARTA service will continue to and from the airport via a bus shuttle between College Park Station and the North Terminal Lower Level, downstairs from North Baggage Claim. The shuttle will be provided 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, MARTA stated in a news release.
“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.”
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 off at the North Terminal Lower Level – Doors LN1 and LN2 –
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 Ground Transportation and take the airport shuttle to the Domestic Terminal. From there, follow the signs to the North Terminal Lower Level – Doors LN1 and LN2 – to catch the shuttle to MARTA’s College Park Station.
MARTA will have signs and announcements throughout the rail system and at the airport to alert riders of the temporary rail station closure and bus shuttle service. For more information, visit MARTA (itsmarta.com).
