Project Overview
East Lake Station opened in 1979 and is one of the first stations being renovated under MARTA’s Station Rehabilitation Program. The first phase includes new pedestrian bridges and a new elevator on the north side.
MARTA and its construction partners have been working to accelerate the reopening of the north bridge. Please see the project timeline and summary below for additional information.
Project Timeline:
- Early December 2024: North pedestrian bridge reopens.
- December – January 2025: North parking lot reopens in stages. Some portions of south parking lot closed for construction storage.
- February 2025: North-side elevator scheduled to open. Until then, customers needing mobility access can continue using the south side of the station.
- Spring 2025: South bridge and parking lot closed for construction. All buses and station access will be on north side. Specific dates will be announced when available.
Throughout both phases, a Mobility shuttle will transport customers between the north and south sides. Station soccer on the north side remains open.
