Atlanta Beltline design and construction updates: September and October 2021

Northeast Trail

• Northeast Trail –Segment 2: The design is complete for Phase II of this segment, which will extend the paved trail north to Mayson Street and south to Westminster Drive, bringing it to a total segment length of 1.2 miles. The work will include lighting, landscaping and security cameras. Phase II is expected to bid for construction before the end of 2021.

• Northeast Trail – Segments 1, 3, and 4 Connector Trails:

  • New gravel has been installed on the existing unpaved trail, starting at the wooden bridge over Clear Creek behind Ansley Mall down to Monroe Drive. This project is made possible thanks to a generous contribution from the Speedwell Foundation.

• Details on each Northeast Trail segment can be found in our design and construction updates section: Segment 1, Segment 2, Segments 3-6.

Eastside Trail

• Capital Improvements: Work continues on the installation of a 2-foot wide soft shoulder to both sides of the Eastside Trail between Monroe Drive and Irwin Street. This project should be completed in the next few months. We appreciate your patience as crews work alongside the trail.
