Marconi Extension

The extension of Big Creek Greenway north to Marconi Drive is now complete. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held at 10:00 am today at the small parking lot on Marconi. This is currently the northern most access to the Fulton County portion of the trail. The new extension adds an addition .85 miles to the Alpharetta section of the Greenway, bringing its total length to approximately 8 miles.

This completes the first step in connecting the Forsyth and Fulton sections of the Big Creek Greenway. No permanent plans are in place yet for completing the connection of the two trails. When the two sections are completed, there will be well over 15 miles of continuous trails through the two counties.

Enjoy the new section of the trail!

Alpharetta will be closing Webb Bridge Road through August 2nd in order to extend the Big Creek Greenway to Marconi Drive. The closure will help in installing a new pedestrian culvert and to move underground utilities.

Webb Bridge to Marconi Drive Map

While searching for new information on the Big Creek Greenway extensions, I came across this site that contains drafts of a plan to extend the Alpharetta section of the greenway from Webb Bridge Road to Marconi Drive.

The most interesting drawing I could find was this one that actually shows the path the trail would take (pdf). I’m not sure if LDI-Line Construction has been selected for this segment, or if these are plans drawn up for a bid on the construction.

Whether or not LDI-Line has received the project, it is always nice to see plans on paper that move the Alpharetta and Forsyth sections of the trail closer to connecting.
