Construction by Georgia Power will be underway between Courtland Street and Peachtree Center Avenue.
The electric company has crews excavating underground electrical lines to repair them and “for safety reasons, streetcars cannot operate alongside open construction areas,” MARTA said.
While the work is underway, MARTA will have shuttle vans wrapped to look like the streetcar that will provide transportation on the streetcar route.
MARTA said it will also use the closure period to preform additional maintenance, including:
- Track maintenance
- Tree trimming
- Station refurbishment
- Signage and vehicle updates
- Deep cleaning along the route
