Roswell Trail Project Could Wrap Up In Late October

ROSWELL, GA — The city of Roswell is making progress on phase three of its Old Mill Park Trail Extension Project. According to its Facebook page, the project that began in the spring is expected to wrap up by late October or early November.

The rough terrain and a wet spring has slowed down construction, but Roswell notes the project is more than halfway to the finish line.

This project includes the expansion of the existing trail system to incorporate pedestrian and Americans with Disabilities Act trail access through boardwalks and overlooks. This will allow additional connectivity to the historic mill ruins south of the covered bridge at Old Mill Park at 95 Mill View Avenue.

Plans also call for an elevated boardwalk that will allow visitors to explore a section of the Roswell Mill ruins that featured the old turbine that powered the Mill directly above the site (currently the Roswell Mill Club and other offices) up until 1975. The area where the boardwalk and trails currently are being constructed dates back to 1839 when the original structures were constructed.

Roswell City Council members in November 2017 approved a $452,270 contract with Macallan Construction for phase three of the project.
