Construction

Oakland + Murphy Connector Trail

Once complete, this 1.31-mile section of trail will begin at the existing Southside Trail - Segment 1 access point at Allene Avenue SW and split into two segments. The first 0.45-mile segment will cross over Sylvan Road SW and end at Murphy Avenue. The second 0.86-mile segment will run adjacent to Avon Ave, crossing over Sylvan Road and Dill Ave before ending at the Murphy Oakland City MARTA station. This project includes the design of a 12-foot-wide concrete multi-use path with 2-foot soft shoulders, as well as landscaping, retaining walls, vertical connections to surrounding streets, stainless steel handrails and guardrails, storm drainage with green infrastructure solutions, environmental remediation, lighting, and security cameras.
