Construction is underway on what's planned to be a grand suspension bridge — the Atlanta Beltline's first — spanning Peachtree Creek in Buckhead.

Driving the news: Crews have begun preliminary work on the $3.6 million bridge, Atlanta Beltline Inc. senior project manager Meghan Injaychock said during the project's most recent virtual briefing.

Context: It will be the show-stopper centerpiece of a 0.8-mile Northwest Tail segment currently under construction along Peachtree Creek near Peachtree Hills and Armour Yards.

Zoom in: Injaychock said the 160-foot-long bridge is being fabricated in Greenville, South Carolina.

The bridge will be delivered in pieces; the first is expected to arrive in mid-March, she said.
