Atlanta, GA, September 10, 2026 — A significant milestone has been reached for the Atlanta Beltline project as officials recently broke ground on the Northwest Trail Segment 3B. This development marks the commencement of construction for a one-mile section of the trail intended to enhance connectivity within the city.

The newly initiated segment will directly link five distinct neighborhoods: Ardmore, Berkeley Park, Brookwood, Collier Hills, and Loring Heights. This expansion is a crucial step towards realizing the broader vision of a complete 22-mile loop around Atlanta.

A key feature of Segment 3B will be a pedestrian bridge constructed over Northside Drive. This infrastructure is designed to provide a safe and accessible crossing point for trail users, integrating the new section seamlessly into the existing urban landscape and connecting communities that may have previously been separated by the roadway.

The groundbreaking ceremony signifies continued progress on the Atlanta Beltline’s ambitious objective to finalize the entire 22-mile circuit. The project’s ultimate goal is to establish a comprehensive trail system that promotes recreation, transportation, and community development throughout Atlanta. The completion of the 22-mile loop is currently targeted for the year 2030.

The Northwest Trail Segment 3B is part of a larger effort to connect various parts of the city, fostering a more integrated and accessible urban environment. The Atlanta Beltline project aims to transform former railway corridors into multi-use paths, benefiting residents through improved mobility, green space, and economic opportunities. The specific contractor for this segment was not provided.
