The MARTA station at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport reopened its turnstiles to passengers on Monday after a six-week hiatus — just in time for the Memorial Day travel rush.

The station was closed to riders April 8 to May 19 due to extensive renovations.

This included installing new platform pavers and new terrazzo flooring in the concourse, and preparing, sealing and painting the track and concourse walls.
