Suspicious Package Closes MARTA Station
Thank goodness I'm vacationing in Florida
The MARTA Buckhead station was shutdown due to a suspicious package, said MARTA officials Tuesday. The station is located near the Atlanta Financial Center.
MARTA spokesperson Andrea Coleman said the package was not on the rail nor was it in the station. The station had been evacuated as a precaution. Peachtree Road was also been shut down.
A bus bridge has been established between the Lindbergh, Buckhead and Medical Center rail stations to transport passengers.
MARTA officials gave the all clear shortly before noon. Officials released no other information. The MARTA Police Department is investigating.
