Northwest Trail-Segment 5
This trail section begins at the intersection of Marietta Boulevard and Huff Road and travels 0.7 miles to Ellsworth Industrial and English Street. The project will involve building Beltline trail outside of the railroad corridor. The trail corridor follows the east side of Elaine Avenue, NW and crosses over Ellsworth Industrial Avenue, where a greenway trail starts from Ellsworth Industrial to English Street. The intersection of Ellsworth Industrial and Elaine Avenue, NW is proposed to become a three-way stop for vehicular traffic.
This segment is currently closed for construction. Trespassing on active construction sites is prohibited.

Project Status
Construction started in May of 2024. Walls and a bridge between Elaine and Fairmont will wrap up in August. Raised intersections are complete and awaiting final signage and paint. Trail concrete pours are ongoing throughout the project and are expected to be complete by late September or early October. Handrail, as well as lighting and camera installation, is in progress and will be the last work to go in place. This project is expected to be completed by fall of 2025, contingent upon the timing of railings, lighting, and cameras.
