Market Street Parking Garage to operate at reduced capacity beginning July 13
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – The City of Charlottesville is advising residents, visitors, and downtown employees that the Market Street Parking Garage will operate at reduced capacity for approximately six weeks beginning July 13, 2026, to allow for necessary structural repairs.
The repairs are related to damage sustained during a previous vehicle fire and will involve the restoration of several concrete structural components on Level 3 of the garage.
To safely complete the work, Levels 2B, 3, and 4 will be closed to both vehicles and pedestrians throughout the project. Levels 1A, 1B, and 2A will remain open and accessible.
Beginning July 13, visitors seeking downtown parking are encouraged to use the Water Street Parking Garage, located at 200 East Water Street. To help maximize public parking availability, the City will relocate employee parking from the Market Street Garage to the Water Street Garage during the repair period.
The project is scheduled to run from July 13 through August 28, 2026. If work is completed ahead of schedule, the garage will reopen at full capacity sooner.
The City appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation as these repairs are completed to ensure the continued safety and reliability of this important downtown parking facility.
