Northeast Trail - Segment 1

Project Status

Construction is underway on this segment and will be completed in three phases: Phase I from Westminster Drive to Evelyn Street, Phase II from Evelyn Street to Monroe Drive, and Phase III including the 10th Street and Monroe Drive intersection improvements.

• In Phase I, work is substantially complete and includes the replacement of an asphalt trail passing through Piedmont Park starting at Westminster Drive, NE and running adjacent to Clear Creek. This area is sometimes referred to as the Carriage Trail. The Carriage Trail is open with temporary fencing; final handrails will be installed in June. Planting is complete. The construction team is refurbishing the wooden Clear Creek bridge along the gravel rail trail.

• Along Phase II, construction grading and wall work is ongoing within the corridor with granite cladding underway. This week concrete slab pours began for the new trail.

• Phase III work, which includes pedestrian safety improvements at the intersection of 10th and Monroe Drive is underway. Key improvements include a new 10th Street bike lane providing direct access to the Atlanta Beltline to enhance connectivity and safety for trail users, a raised pedestrian crossing to improve safety for trail users and pedestrians, improved crossings and pedestrian signals at key intersections to ensure safer travel for all users of the trail, and new traffic signals at Kanuga St NE and Monroe Dr. NE to manage traffic flow and enhance safety. The full intersection closure was completed on June 14th. Single-lane closures will be implemented to finalize sidewalk construction, which is expected to be complete by September 2024. Single lane closures are expected to occur Monday through Friday, between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Click here for more information.

• The Beltline continues to work alongside Piedmont Park Conservancy, City of Atlanta Parks Department, and Atlanta Department of Transportation on this project. The project is expected to be complete in fall of 2024.
