DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — MARTA announced plans to temporarily stop service at a DeKalb County rail station for two days.
The announcement, from Wednesday, said trains heading to the Indian Creek Station in DeKalb County on the Blue Line would have to put services on the brake so the agency can install a new pedestrian bridge over the tracks.
MARTA said the construction will happen from Dec. 8 to Dec. 9, making Kensington Station the temporary end of the Blue Line’s train traffic for two days, though not right away.

While construction is underway, shuttles will be ready to take passengers between Indian Creek and Kensington stations and bus routes serving Indian Creek Station will run as scheduled.
Parking at Indian Creek will also remain open, though MARTA is encouraging drivers to park at Kensington over the weekend when construction is happening, if possible.
