corridors. Construction of Section I of the Lenox Road Complete and Safe Street project, known as the Lenox Boardwalk, started in October. Crews will work for the next 13 months to build the more than $10 million boardwalk along the west side of Lenox Road. The 12-foot-wide multi-use path is designed to enhance pedestrian connectivity and beautify the area between the Lenox MARTA station and Peachtree Road. Initial work began with the removal of unhealthy trees and those whose root systems may be damaged during construction, according to the Buckhead Community Improvement District. As the boardwalk project advances, a variety of native trees, including dogwoods, tulip poplars, laurel oaks, red oaks and American Elms will be planted. Additional landscaping will create a barrier between the boardwalk and traffic, improving both aesthetics and safety for pedestrians and cyclists. The Lenox Boardwalk project is planned to be finished in November 2025. When completed, pedestrians and cyclists will be able to more safely connect to multiple commercial, office and residential properties. No lane reductions are planned. Streetscape and pedestrian improvements are planned on both sides of Lenox Road, including new lighting. The Lenox Boardwalk is the start of a larger transformation of Lenox Road that includes redesigned ramps at Monarch for Section II and a reconfigured Ga. 400 interchange with a pedestrian and bike flyover bridge in Section III. In September, the Buckhead CID announced it was awarded a $ 10 million federal grant for the bridge in Section III. Total cost for the bridge project is estimated at $40 million. The bridge would connect to PATH400 and also serve as a gateway to the planned highway capping park, HUB404. A rendering of Hub 404 park.
