ATLANTA — MARTA announced Thursday that just before the end of March, the East Lake Station’s south entrance would be closed.
Officials said the closure, which includes the south pedestrian bridge, bus loop and the south parking lot will start March 24 so crews can replace the bridge.
Additionally, MARTA said there will be several temporary road closures during the old bridge’s removal and the installation of its replacement.
