ATLANTA – The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) will close its Airport Station for six weeks—April 8 through May 19—to renovate the concourse and platform levels. MARTA advises passengers to allow at least 30 extra minutes when taking MARTA to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
MARTA service will continue to and from the airport via a bus shuttle between College Park Station and the North Terminal Lower Level, downstairs from North Baggage Claim. The shuttle will be provided 22 hours a day, 4 a.m. to 2 a.m.
