The Neighborhood Building the BeltLine

The extension of the Atlanta BeltLine on both the eastside and westside of the city is moving at a rapid pace. There was a delay in completing the extension of the popular Eastside Trail over Irwin Street, meaning the road and trail were still closed to vehicle and foot traffic at press time. Peering through the construction fence, concrete is already in for the stretch of the trail behind the Stove Works development and Alexan on Krog apartments. However, work on the Cabbagetown/ Reynoldstown side was almost complete and our contributing photographer captured photos of walkers and bike riders using the trail along Wylie Street. On the Westside Trail, the concrete is being poured at a brisk pace and a summer opening is still expected for the three-mile section, according to BeltLine officials.
