Red/Gold Line Rail Suspension – December 13

Image Description: The image above displays a zoomed in map of the Red and Gold Lines with Lindbergh Center Station in the center. On Sunday, Dec. 13, from 9 a.m. to noon, there will be no rail service at Lindbergh Center which has a red slash over it. A blue dotted line shows the path of the bus bridge operating between Arts Center, Lindbergh, Buckhead, and Lenox Stations.

RIDER ALERT

From 9 a.m. to noon on Sunday, Dec. 13, 2026, Red and Gold Line service will be suspended between Arts Center Station and Buckhead and Lenox Stations for the replacement of a Georgia Power line that hangs over MARTA’s tracks.  

• All Red and Gold Line customers traveling through the affected area will need to use a bus bridge operating between Arts Center, Lindbergh, Buckhead, and Lenox Stations.
• Customers should plan for an additional 30 minutes for their trip.
• Local bus routes and Sunday schedules are unchanged. Buses will still serve Lindbergh Center, but customers who transfer to rail will need to use the bus bridge to reach Red or Gold Line trains. Long-term parking at Lindbergh remains open. 

How Does the Bus Bridge Work?

• Bus bridges will load in the bus bay of each station (except Buckhead, where buses will load on Peachtree Road)
• Buses operate continuously on a load-and-go basis.
• Listen for announcements and look for signs and MARTA employees for directions to bus bays.  

MARTA is single-tracking on Dec. 13 for other maintenance projects. For the latest information on weekend rail service and schedules, visit: https://itsmarta.com/special-rail-schedules.aspx

Long-term parking remains available at Lindbergh Center Station.

Project Overview

This work is being performed by Georgia Power to replace an outdated overhead ground wire that spans over the Red and Gold Line tracks near Piedmont Road and Miami Circle. For the safety of our customers and work crews, train service must be suspended and the work must be done during daylight hours. The replacement of the line is expected to take about an hour, but additional time is needed by MARTA to power down and clear the tracks before the work and then restore power for service to resume.  We appreciate your patience during this crucial work!
