Northeast Trail – Segment 1 (Piedmont Park)

Project Status

Construction is underway on this segment that runs alongside Piedmont Park and will be completed in three phases: Phase I from Westminster Drive to Evelyn Street, Phase II from Evelyn Street to Monroe Drive, and Phase III including the 10th Street and Monroe Drive intersection improvements.

• In Phase I, work is underway to replace an asphalt trail passing through Piedmont Park starting at Westminster Drive NE and running adjacent to Clear Creek. This area is sometimes referred to as the Carriage Trail. This section of trail will have the concrete trail poured to Evelyn Street by early January. Lighting and camera installation will follow along with planting work.
• Along Phase II, construction crews have completed erosion control measures, tree clearing and stump removal. Storm water work is underway. Grading work is expected to begin in January, along with utility relocation work.
• Phase III work, which includes pedestrian safety improvements at the intersection of 10th and Monroe Drive, will take place later in the construction schedule and with ample community notice and coordination. Initial planning and logistics are in progress for this phase of work.
• The BeltLine continues to work alongside Piedmont Park Conservancy, City of Atlanta Parks Department, and Atlanta Department of Transportation on this project. The project is expected to be complete in fall of 2024.
