“The work required a lane closure between Courtland Street and Peachtree Center Avenue, where Georgia Power has been excavating and repairing underground electrical lines,” MARTA said in a statement. “For safety reasons, streetcars cannot operate alongside open construction areas.”
As a result, the streetcars were out of service starting on Sept. 8, 2025.
MARTA said during the closure, they’d taken the opportunity to complete the following projects:
- Catenary inspection and repair
- Track maintenance
- Tree trimming
- Station refurbishment
- Signage and vehicle updates
- Deep cleaning along the route
