ATLANTA — After more than a month of being closed for renovations and upgrades, the MARTA station at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport reopened Monday.
The airport station first closed on April 8.
MARTA officials set up an additional shuttle to accommodate travelers to get them from College Park Station to the airport shuttle. Services were available for this option 22 hours a day during the construction period.

Over the course of six weeks, MARTA installed new flooring, replaced the ceilings and lighting and began installing infrastructure for a new elevator.
MARTA says closing the airport station for six weeks allowed crews to reduce the total construction time by 17 months.
The next phase of the project will focus on a new canopy, ride store and spaces for employees. That construction will take place a later date within the next year.
