The city of Brookhaven has begun an extensive sidewalk improvement project along Lanier Drive and Woodrow Way. The project adds 800 linear feet of sidewalk to the existing network.

This sidewalk is along the perimeter of Oglethorpe Presbyterian Church. The Woodrow Way section will begin at the Oglethorpe University entrance and extend all the way to its intersection with Lanier Drive. The Lanier Drive portion of the project will begin at the same intersection and extend approximately 200 feet north along Lanier Drive.

In addition to the sidewalk sections along Lanier Drive and Woodrow Way, ADA ramps and landscape island improvements will be made along the project corridor.

Construction is expected to end in mid-December. During this time, construction activities may require temporary lane closures during non-peak traffic hours.
