Southside Trail– Segment 6, Phase II
Southside Trail - Segment 6 runs approximately a 1/2 mile 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 drawings for this project are 30% complete, with 60% plans forthcoming by Spring 2025. The engineering team is completing a traffic analysis that contemplates changes to adjacent streets and intersections, with the intent to minimize trail and car traffic conflicts. The project will be completed in two sections: Section A will include work in the ATLDOT right-of-way south of I-20 and Section B is the GDOT right of way from I-20 north to Memorial Drive. Consideration of how to phase this work around FIFA events in June of 2026 is needed. Expected construction duration for each phase of work is expected to be between 16-18 months.
