RIDER ALERT: GARNETT SIX-WEEK SKIP STOP
Starting Saturday, Sept. 13 through Sunday, Oct. 26, 2025, Red and Gold Line trains will NOT stop at Garnett Station while we renovate the platform. Customers cannot exit or board a train at Garnett during this time.
SERVICE IMPACTS FROM SATURDAY, SEPT. 13 – SUNDAY, OCT. 26, 2025:
Project Overview
MARTA is renovating Garnett Station as part of its State of Good Repair Program. Garnett Station opened in 1981, and, after more than 40 years of wear and tear, existing platform pavers are in immediate need of repair to ensure a safe, accessible, and positive experience for customers. New platform pavers are also easier to clean, replace, and maintain long-term.
The total budget for Garnett Station Rehabilitation is $9.9 million. The six-week Skip Stop will save about 14 months of construction time and $5 million.
We Value Your Feedback
We appreciate your patience and welcome your feedback on the project during construction.
