FIVE
POINTS STATION PEACHTREE ENTRANCE AND FEDERAL TUNNEL CLOSE BEGINNING OCT. 13
Forsyth
Street Entrance Remains Open
ATLANTA – The next phase of MARTA’s Five Points Transformation
project begins Monday, Oct. 13, 2025, with the closure of the
Peachtree Street station entrance and the federal tunnel for employees.
Beginning Oct. 13, 2025, customers must use Forsyth Street to
access Five Points Station. The Forsyth Street entrance will be the
only access point for Five Points due to construction. Closing the
Peachtree entrance and federal tunnel is a necessary next step for the
demolition and safe removal of the existing concrete canopy.
The following service impacts remain in effect at Five Points:
- Alabama Street and Broad Street Plaza entrances
remain closed.
- Restrooms remain closed.
- Customer service offices have temporarily
relocated and will eventually relocate to Ashby Station. The opening date will
be announced once available.
- All buses continue boarding on Forsyth Street.
- Rail service and transfers are unchanged.
- Elevators remain open for access and transfers.
While elevators remain open, there will be temporary escalator and
stair closures over the next few weeks leading up to the Peachtree Street
closure. During this time, crews will put up scaffolding and overhead
protection to prepare for removal of the concrete canopy overhead. Signage will
be installed to guide customers.
MARTA is transforming Five Points Station into a vibrant city
center with improved transit connectivity, increased safety, and enhanced
customer amenities. This first phase of the project includes the deconstruction
and removal of the concrete canopy. Future phases include building a new
canopy, improving the centralized bus hub and pedestrian connection to Broad
Street, and incorporating community spaces, public art, and agriculture.
The project will cost approximately $230 million and is funded
primarily through the More MARTA Atlanta half-penny sales tax, with $13.8
million from the state of Georgia, and a $25 million Federal RAISE Grant, with
remaining support from the MARTA core penny.
