Photo taken Feb. 9, 1976. The original caption: "FORSYTH CLOSES FOR MARTA. Workmen erected these barricades at Forsyth and Alabama streets Sunday and put up similar barricades at Forsyth and Marietta streets to close off the area so that MARTA can begin construction of its Five Points Station, the hub of the coming rapid transit system. Buses will continue to operate on the one-block section until Feb. 16, when the viaduct will be completely closed so that it can be torn down. Construction on the Forsyth Street section is expected to be complete in mid-October 1976. The new viaduct will be built several feet higher to be compatible with the Five Points Station."
