Sugar Hill greenway construction creating scenic trails

TriScapes Construction, contractor for the Sugar Hill Greenway, is currently focusing construction activity on the trail from Peachtree Industrial westward to Whitehead Road. According to city leaders, these segments follow the old Georgia DOT right-of-way for the former outer perimeter project and are in some of the most scenic places in the city.

Bridge and boardwalk construction has begun in these areas as well. A pedestrian crossing signal will be installed on Level Creek Road near the back entrance to Gwinnett Church where the trail will cross (just south/west of Markim Forest).

While the segment on Level Creek Road and through EE Robinson Park has been paved, some sections are still blocked off and within the contractor’s work zone. The city is asking the public to stay off the trails in these areas until the barriers are removed and it is safe to use.

The trailhead at Bethany UMC on Whitehead Road has been constructed and is awaiting progress on the trail segments closer to the area prior to final completion.
