We can report that the Briarcliff Rd bridge replacement near Sage Hill is finally moving forward.  Installation of silt fences should begin soon, followed by utility re-location. The work will close one lane of Briarcliff Road traffic for periods of time during active construction work.  The department estimated the bridge construction will be complete by September 2024.  Traffic will get worse before it gets better!  Once complete, DeKalb County will begin work on our newest park along the creek below the bridge.

And in other trail news, we are sharing several options presented by DeKalb County for a multi-use trail connecting the VA Clairmont Rd campus to Wesley Woods and ultimately to Eagle Row on Emory’s main campus. The DHCA would love to hear your thoughts.   See summary plans here and let us know what you think by emailing Publicsafety@druidhills.org and parks@druidhills.org.
