WOODSTOCK, GA (October 13, 2025) – The City of Woodstock has issued a Notice to Proceed for construction of the Dupree Road Trail, an important project that will expand pedestrian access and connectivity in the community. Construction is estimated to be complete by December 17, 2025.
The project will construct approximately 1,500 linear feet of new sidewalks and trail segments along Dupree Road, filling in gaps where sidewalks do not currently exist. Once complete, the trail will provide a continuous connection from Market Street to the eastern side of the I-575 bridge, linking with both the Noonday Creek Trail and existing Cherokee County sidewalks.
Funding for the project was made possible in part through a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The Dupree Road Trail will benefit residents of neighborhoods identified as low- to moderate-income areas, where many residents travel on foot out of necessity to reach schools, healthcare facilities, jobs, food sources, and recreation opportunities.
“The Dupree Road Trail is about more than just sidewalks,” said Woodstock Mayor Michael Caldwell. “It’s about safe, reliable access to opportunity for thousands of people who live, work, and go to school in this part of Woodstock. We’re proud to bring this project forward with the support of CDBG funding and our SPLOST program.”
The new trail segments will be 8 to 10 feet wide and built to ADA standards, with curb, gutter, and drainage improvements included as needed. The project represents a collaborative effort between the City of Woodstock and Cherokee County, closing a critical gap in the pedestrian network and expanding safe connectivity for an estimated 5,000 residents.
