MARTA
RAIL SERVICE RESUMES AT INDIAN CREEK STATION AFTER SUCCESSFUL BRIDGE
INSTALLATION
ATLANTA – Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit
Authority (MARTA) Blue Line service resumed at Indian Creek Station this
morning after the successful installation of a new pedestrian bridge connecting
to Durham Park Road. The new bridge will improve pedestrian and bicycle access
and accommodate future trail routes to the station.
Rail service to the station was temporarily stopped
Dec. 8 through 9 to expedite the bridge installation and ensure the safety of
customers and employees. During the two-day suspension of rail service, MARTA
provided bus shuttle service between Indian Creek and Kensington Stations.
Local bus routes out of Indian Creek and parking at the station were not
impacted.
The pedestrian
bridge installation is part of the larger Indian Creek Station Rehabilitation
Project, aimed at improving safety, accessibility, and the overall rider
experience, and is funded through MARTA’s State of Good Repair Program.
Additional
upgrades at Indian Creek Station include improvements to the platform,
concourse, elevator, lighting, public artwork, landscaping, and extensive
cleaning. The grand opening of the pedestrian bridge and the project's
completion is scheduled for spring 2025.
MARTA recognizes
the work of our construction partners at Carroll Daniel Moody, Steel LLC, and
Athena Construction, and thanks our customers for their patience during the
project. Stay updated by visiting www.itsmarta.com/indiancreekstationrehab.
