Construction

Westside Trail - Segment 6

Once complete, this 0.6-mile section of trail will connect the Westside Trail at Lawton Street SW to the Westside Trail at Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard. The project will include the design of a 14’ wide concrete multi-use path with soft shoulders on each side, planting, fiber duct bank, retaining walls, stainless steel handrails/guardrails, storm drainage and management (with a focus on green infrastructure), environmental remediation, lighting, and security cameras.

A worn dirt path runs between a line of thick trees and an industrial building.
Two people walk along a paved trail that's lined with crayon statues on one side. In the distance, there is an unpaved path where the Westside Trail - Segment 6 will go.
A bridge goes over an unpaved path. On the side of the bridge is a colorful mural that reads, "Atlanta Beltline. Lawton St."

Project Status

This section of trail is open but is a sidewalk connection, diverted off the rail corridor with ramp connections to an adjacent sidewalk. This project will construct a trail connection on the rail corridor. Solicitation of a design firm is complete, with contracting in progress. Design is expected to run through early 2026 and construction to be complete by 2027. Landscaping work will extend into 2028.
