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.
The full Northwest Trail will run for 4.3 miles from the terminus of the Westside Trail to the beginning of the Northeast Trail.
Project Status
Construction started in May of 2024. Walls and a bridge between Elaine and Fairmont are ongoing. Work on the walls at Ellsworth into the corridor is almost complete. Raised intersections are almost complete, and work on the trail/sidewalk connections is planned for the start of August. Marietta Boulevard trail pours will also take place at this time. This project is expected to be completed by October 2025.
