MARTA is warning of significant bus and paratransit delays in southwest Fulton County beginning Friday night through Monday morning due to planned lane and ramp closures on I-285.

The closures begin at 9 p.m. Friday and run through 5 a.m. Monday. Georgia DOT crews will be doing bridge and pavement work on the southwest stretch of the Perimeter.

The following bus routes will be most directly affected, though all MARTA bus routes may face delays due to increased traffic:

  • Route 178 – Mt. Zion Road
  • Route 184 – Camp Creek
  • Route 191 – Riverdale/ATL International Terminal
  • Route 194 – Conley Road/Mount Zion
  • MARTA Reach Zone 304

MARTA Mobility paratransit service will also be significantly affected. The service is by appointment only and offers curb-to-curb service for eligible customers. Mobility vans do not operate on a fixed route, and service will be delayed by increased traffic on surface streets.

Rail service will not be affected, but customers should allow more time when traveling to rail stations or making connections.

Real-time service information is available on the MARTA app, at itsmarta.com, or by following @MARTAservice on social media. Customer service is available at 404-848-5000.
