MARTA has announced that the Atlanta Streetcar will resume service on Tuesday, Feb. 3, following the completion of underground utility repairs.
The Downtown streetcar was suspended in September to accommodate repairs by Georgia Power and align with scheduled infrastructure upgrades along the streetcar route. MARTA shuttle vans have continued providing service along the route.
The work required a lane closure between Courtland Street and Peachtree Center Avenue, where Georgia Power has been excavating and repairing underground electrical lines. For safety reasons, streetcars cannot operate alongside open construction areas.
MARTA said in a press release that it took advantage of the closure to complete catenary inspection and repair, track maintenance, tree trimming, station refurbishments, signage and vehicle updates, and deep cleaning along the route.
