Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority

ATLANTA – The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) Airport Station reopened today after a six-week closure to renovate the concourse and platform levels. Work, including the installation of new terrazzo flooring in the concourse and preparation for installation of the new canopy, was completed during a temporary station closure from April 8 through May 19. “This was an incredibly successful project and I want to thank our customers for bearing with us while we completed this necessary work,” said MARTA General Manager and CEO Collie Greenwood. “Temporarily closing the station significantly reduced the overall construction time by 17 months

During his third State of the City address, Mayor Andre Dickens announced that the city would partner with MARTA to build a new heavy rail station at the Murphy Crossing redevelopment project and three additional infill stations.

Atlanta and Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority officials appear poised for one of the largest additions to the city’s rail transit system in decades.
