Dear Friends: This email is to provide another update on the Northside Drive Bridge Replacement Over Peachtree Creek project construction activities and schedule timeline. Our previous email to you described the “cascade” of utility relocations that needed to occur throughout 2019 before construction of the pedestrian bridge begins in early 2020. We know that the existing pedestrian bridge carries significant utility facilities as well, so several months will be dedicated to ensuring all utilities are relocated and remain functional during the bridge construction. The City of Atlanta’s water and sewer line work in the project area is also anticipated to continue through early 2020. Most recently, the contractor has advised us that the schedule for the 90-day detour installation to ensure safety during construction of the Northside over Peachtree Creek Bridge will likely be pushed back to Spring 2021, not Spring 2020 as previously reported. The Spring 2020 detour information was provided by the contractor prior to fully investigating the extensive utility work needed. Please know that at this time, we are not able to be more specific about the month or date that the detour will be installed in 2021. We understand your need to make travel adjustments related to this detour and commit to provide notice of the detour timeline well in advance, in addition to other project-related traffic impacts over the next two years. Please find the updated schedule below. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Lillian Jackson. Thank you for your continuing patience and support!
