I toured the entire 2.7 mile Atlanta Streetcar loop on April 26th and wanted to share these videos with everyone. I labeled all 12 of the Streetcar stops and all of the major roads & intersections along the way.
Entire Streetcar Loop:

-Individual Sections -
(1) Centennial Olympic Park to Woodruff Park:

Crews have excavated over 600 feet of old rail ties circa 1920's from the original Atlanta Streetcar. 100 years ago Atlanta had a functioning rather extensive streetcar system. I didn't know that once they were phased out, the City of Atlanta simply paved over, rather than removing them.
(2) Woodruff Park to 75/85 Connector via Edgewood Ave:

Crews are digging up Park Place between Edgewood and Auburn Ave.
(3) 75/85 Connector to King Historic District via Edgewood Ave:

The is by far the most complete section. Crews have laid the Streetcar track and poured the concrete, effectively only leaving the stops and sidewalk improvements left to complete.
(4) King Historic District to 75/85 Connector via Auburn Ave:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QVqyikdrok
Crews have laid the Streetcar track and are actively laying the corresponding electrical cables & pipes along Auburn Ave.
(5) 75/85 Connector to Woodruff Park via Auburn Ave:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzaTPb-fPXk
Utility lines have been marked. Otherwise no construction activity along Auburn Ave between the Connector and Peachtree Center Ave. However work continues around Woodruff park.
(6) Woodruff Park to Centennial Olympic Park via Peachtree St, Ellis St, Carnegie Way & Andrew Young International Blvd:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FXRfqzWhzs
No construction activity along Peachtree St quite yet. Utility work continues along Ellis. However work Andrew Young Blvd is roaring with crews ready to lay the new tracks once the old track are removed.
