ATLANTA – The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority will close the south entrance of East Lake Station, including the south pedestrian bridge, bus loop and south parking lot starting Monday, March 24, to replace the pedestrian bridge.
- Pedestrian access: All customers must use the new north pedestrian bridge to reach Blue Line trains. The new elevator on the north side will be open before the south elevator closes.
- Parking: The south lot will be closed. Customers may park in the north lot.
- Bus service: Bus routes 2, 19 and 34 will be rerouted to the north side.
- Shuttle service: A free shuttle will operate between the north and south lots during service hours for added convenience.
- StationSoccer: The soccer pitches and parking on the north side will remain open.
Temporary road closures will occur during the removal of the old bridge and installation of the new bridge. MARTA will provide advance notice through signage and other communications to ensure minimal disruption.
The project is part of a larger effort to upgrade East Lake Station, ensuring it remains a safe, accessible, and contemporary facility for the community. Additional improvements include upgraded ADA ramps, fresh paint, and enhanced curb and gutter features.
