Southside Trail-Segments 2 & 3

Project Status

Clean-up of the existing brownfield continues near Milton Avenue, and D.H. Stanton Park continues. All underground storm work is completed west of Pryor Road, and construction has started on the last major underground pond and storm lines west of Milton. Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) wall construction is rapidly being completed east of Pryor Road for the access ramp. Storm installation from west of Hill Street with a tie-in at Hill Street is in progress. Construction of the wall below Hill Street on the east side of the road has begun for the ramp up to the trail and will continue through the end of August. Additionally, wall crews are mobilizing to begin work on the ramp at Grant Terrace SE. The majority of the trail concrete is tracking to be poured by March ’26, with the section of trail from D.H. Stanton Park to Milton Avenue targeting to be poured by the end of May ’26. The delay in pouring the trail at this location is due to the ongoing brownfield work. ABI is working to have this trail open to the public prior to June 2026, when FIFA will be held in Atlanta. However, challenges with the unexpected environmental remediation work on site may delay the full completion of the project.
