Southside Trail-Segments 2 & 3

Project Status

Clean-up of the Brownfield continues on Segment 3 near Milton Avenue & D.H. Stanton Park. The large underground detention pond in this area is complete and backfilled work has begun on additional piping that will tie the pond to existing storm structures. West of Pryor Road work will begin on under ground storm Pond D in mid-May. The retaining wall near Pittsburgh Yards has had concrete face installed and rubble veneer is in progress. Another large under ground detention pond has been installed east of Pryor Road and backfill and other piping to tie into the existing structures is in progress. In the next month, concrete wall installation will begin for the Pryor Road access point. On Segment 3 the grading for the Hill Street access point has also begun and crews will be mobilizing before the end of April to begin the stairs from Grant Street. Pouring the majority of the trail concrete is tracking to be poured by March ‘26, with the section of trail on Segment 3 from D.H. Stanton Park to Milton Avenue poured by the end of April ‘26 due to the brownfield work required in this location. ABI is working to have this trail open to the public prior to June 2026, when FIFA will be held in Atlanta.
