A Cobb County project to replace a 50-year-old railroad bridge on North Church Lane and build sidewalks on Atlanta Road and North Church Lane begins next month.

The County Commission week approved a $1.8 million contract for the bridge which should take eight months to complete.

About 700 feet of sidewalk will be built south of Atlanta Road near the Old Atlanta Station subdivision, and 325 feet on the north side. Another 650 feet of sidewalk will be built on the east side of North Church Lane from Bridle Wood Drive to the CSX Railroad line.

The new sidewalks will be a great benefit in connecting Old Atlanta Station, Chadsworth, Westbury at Vinings and Longleaf in Vinings to the restaurants and shops along Atlanta Road, creating a much more pedestrian friendly atmosphere.
