The MARTA Midtown station was temporarily closed Monday morning after a suspicious item was found on the northbound track, a spokesman for the transit agency said.

The station closed around 9 a.m. and buses were transporting passengers between the North Avenue and Arts Center rail stations, MARTA spokesman Lyle Harris told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Police determined the item on the track was harmless, and the station re-opened shortly before 10 a.m., Harris said.
