Southside Trail– Segment 6, Phase II

Southside Trail - Segment 6 runs along Bill Kennedy Way between Glenwood Avenue and Memorial Drive. This project will replace the interim condition and create a new pedestrian bridge over I-20. The section running through Glenwood Park will also be improved.

Project Status

The design of this project kicked off with the community during an ABI Study Group meeting in March 2024. The engineering team is currently developing typical cross sections and options for the street and trail composition and alignment. A Study Group meeting will be scheduled this summer, when the concepts are ready to present. The project will be completed in two phases: Phase 1 will include work in the ATDOT right of way which is expected to start in summer of 2025, followed by work in the GDOT right of way in summer of 2026.
