After a month-long road closure of Ralph McGill Boulevard, the road re-opened on the morning of Friday, March 30. In the past month, our contractors installed a brand-new bridge as part of the Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail. This bridge will be for pedestrian use and parallels the original, 100-year-old railroad bridge. The two murals from our 2010 Art on the Atlanta BeltLine exhibition that run underneath the bridges will remain in place.
We want to give a HUGE thank you to our neighbors in the condo and apartment complexes up and down Ralph McGill Boulevard for their patience. We’re working hard to bring an awesome walking, running, biking, skateboarding, rollerblading path to your back yard and appreciate your support as we work on this transformative project. We’ve seen your comments on our facebook page and want to share just a few:
Counting the days until this segment is open. It will turn my daily bike commute from Ormewood Park to Midtown into a daily vacation!
