ATLANTA – The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority streetcar will return to service Tuesday, Feb. 3, 2026, at the completion of underground utility repairs by Georgia Power.
The streetcar vehicles were suspended Sept. 8, 2025, to accommodate urgent underground utility repairs by Georgia Power and align with scheduled infrastructure upgrades along the streetcar route. MARTA shuttle vans have continued providing service along the route.
The work required a lane closure between Courtland Street and Peachtree Center Avenue, where Georgia Power has been excavating and repairing underground electrical lines. For safety reasons, streetcars cannot operate alongside open construction areas.
In addition to Georgia Power’s work, MARTA has taken advantage of the closure to complete catenary inspection and repair, track maintenance, tree trimming, station refurbishment, signage and vehicle updates, and deep cleaning along the route.
