The final concrete has been poured on the Atlanta Beltline's Westside trail, the organization announced on Facebook Tuesday.

City leaders broke ground on the Westside trail, which is expected to dramatically change the face of southwest Atlanta, in November 2014.

But while the concrete may be down, don’t try walking on it just yet.

The trail won’t open until finishes such as landscaping, lighting and signage are installed. Atlanta Beltline Inc. did not immediately respond with an estimate of when it may be ready.

The Beltline plans to hold a trail dedication in September, according to the post.
