Hardscrabble trail project adds connections toward Roswell High School

Roswell’s Hardscrabble Road multi-use trail is open, adding more than 4,200 feet of connections along Hardscrabble and King roads, according to the city’s July completion report.

The approximately $2.5 million bond-funded project includes roughly 3,000 feet of trail on the north side of Hardscrabble between King Road and Whittingham Place, plus about 1,200 feet along King Road.

The segments connect with existing trails and improve access toward Roswell High School. The work also included turn-lane changes, traffic-signal upgrades, resurfacing and waterline improvements.

Stormwater features include planter boxes, permeable pavement and planted slopes designed to filter runoff. The project combines a walking and cycling connection with less visible utility and drainage work, rather than simply adding a standalone recreational path.
