Northwest Trail – Segments 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Project Status

Below is an update on each of the segments:

• Northwest Trail – Segment 1: This section of trail is 0.8 miles in length, beginning at the western edge of Peachtree Parks Apartments and running south along Peachtree Creek. We have executed a contract with Reeves Young for Construction Manager at Risk Services. Drawings are 90% drawings and a cost model for the project is complete. We have begun to procure various parts of the project such as the bridge over Peachtree Creek as well as the materials for the retaining walls along the corridor and all elevated sections. The acquisition of easements is ongoing and once complete, we will be in a position to begin enabling work at the Peachtree Park Apartment complex , targeting early Q2.  This enabling work clear the way for all the work to progress, such as the installation of the new Peachtree Creek bridge.
• Northwest Trail – Segment 2: This segment begins at the southwest corner of Bobby Jones Golf Course and travels east along Colonial Hills Circle for 0.7 miles. Design drawings are 60% complete as of the end of March.  This releases the start of real estate work required to secure the corridor for the trail.
• Northwest Trail – Segment 3: This section of trail begins at Trabert Avenue near Monday Night Brewing’s parking lot and ends after crossing under I-75 at Tanyard Creek, for a total length of 1.2 miles. Design will be 60% complete by May 2024. A contract has been awarded to Astra Group for Construction Manager at Risk Services.  The construction manager will provide early assistance with construction logistics, scheduling, and budgeting while the drawings are being completed.  A section of the trail that is approximately 0.5 miles and runs between between Trabert and Northside is scheduled to start construction early April.
• Northwest Trail – Segment 4: This 0.9-mile-long trail begins at English and Culpepper and ends at the parking lot of Monday Night Brewery at Trabert. The 60% drawings are complete which releases the start of real estate work required to secure the corridor for the trail.  Coordination with the Department of Watershed Management and other property owners has been very productive and the alignment for this segment has been confirmed.
• Northwest Trail – Segment 5: This trail section begins at the intersection of Marietta Blvd and Huff Rd, traveling to Ellsworth Industrial and English Street for a total of 0.7 miles. Real estate work is coming to an end in Q1.  The project has been posted for construction and bids are due April 11^th.  We expect to be under construction early May. The construction schedule is anticipated to be 14 months.
