Atlanta Streetcar down throughout weekend for electrical repairs

The Atlanta Streetcar is down through the weekend for electrical repairs, officials said.

City officials announced late Friday night that crews were repairing the streetcar’s power delivery system. The repairs — which involve work on overhead powerlines on Edgewood Avenue, Jackson Street, Auburn Avenue and Peachtree Street — were expected to be completed by Monday.

“Repairs may cause temporary road closures along the Streetcar route,” officials said in a news release. “Traffic control measures will be in place; however, motorists are urged to avoid the impacted area if possible.”
