Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. (ABI) is seeking construction firms for a new 2.8-mile segment of the trail network.
The agency announced an invitation to bid for Northeast Trail Segment 3 and four connector trails, a federally funded effort stretching from Buford Highway to Peachtree Creek. The project will link key destinations including MARTA’s Lindbergh Center station, the Armour-Ottley commercial district, and the PATH400 trail.
The segment marks the final major portion of the Northeast Trail to enter construction, closing a gap between the existing trail at Mayson Street and a planned connection to the Northwest Trail at Kinsey Court.
The project will be funded by a $25 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation, along with nearly $17 million from the Atlanta Regional Commission.
The project includes about 0.7 miles of elevated multi-use trail and 2.1 miles of connector paths linking to nearby neighborhoods and employment centers along Piedmont Road. Plans also call for two truss-style bridges spanning Peachtree Creek and major freight rail corridors, along with crossings beneath MARTA rail and the Downtown Connector.
Additional features include lighting, security cameras, landscaping and stormwater systems. Construction is expected to take about three and a half years.
Bids for the project are due June 2 at this link.
