MARTA GARNETT STATION PLATFORM RENOVATION
COMPLETE, RED & GOLD LINE SERVICE RESUMES
ATLANTA – Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority
(MARTA) has resumed Red and Gold Line service at Garnett Station after trains
temporarily skipped the station for platform renovations. The six-week skip
stop ensured customer and employee safety during the work and saved
approximately four months of construction time and $5 million.
During the temporary
skip stop, MARTA’s construction partners, included below, replaced the
44-year-old platform pavers as planned and worked ahead to replace pavers on
the lower concourse.
- Carroll Daniel
- C.D. Moody Construction
Company Inc.
- H&M Restoration
Service LLC
- Level Construction
Services Inc.
- Schindler Elevator
Corporation
- SRC Ventures LLC
- Williams Tile and Marble
Company
Replacement of pavers on
the upper concourse and other work at the station will continue, such as heavy
cleaning and pressure-washing, windscreen replacement, and application of
graffiti-resistant coating and sealant to wall surfaces. Service is not impacted.
In addition, MARTA is
partnering with the Atlanta Downtown Improvement District and the Project for
Public Spaces to transform the plaza’s large concrete space into a welcoming,
engaging environment designed to promote community connection ahead of the World
Cup in 2026.
The Garnett Station
Rehabilitation project is part of MARTA’s multi-year, approximately $1 billion
Station Rehabilitation Program designed to improve and enhance safety and
aesthetics at all 38 rail stations.
