Construction Begins on the Atlanta Beltline in Reynoldstown

Tuesday, June 7, 2016

It has been promised and pushed back and promised again but for the first time in almost four years, the Atlanta Beltline’s Eastside Trail is actively getting longer. I have been traveling down to Reynoldstown a bunch in the past few weeks looking for signs of the much anticipated construction. This past Tuesday I finally got what I had been searching for. Crews are starting to cut down trees and trailers have been moved into place as the next phase in the project gets underway.

Construction has finally begun along the Atlanta Beltline Eastside Trail extension in Reynoldstown between Edgewood and Dekalb avenues.
