Barriere Construction, in close collaboration with the City of New Orleans and Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans, are working together to restore damaged infrastructure in the Central City neighborhood as part of the Central City Group A project. This month crews continued performing water line tie-ins on South Derbigny and Josephine streets. Some weekend work was required to remain on schedule after the holiday season. The project is scheduled to be completed in fall 2021, weather permitting.
Residents will continue to be informed ahead of any work that will involve utility disruption and / or impact their parking and access to their streets.
This $9.1M full-depth reconstruction project was designed by C.H. Fenstermaker and Associates, LLC. The scope of work varies block by block but includes the following:
- Replacing damaged underground water, sewer and drainage lines;
- Repaving the roadway;
- Replacing damaged sidewalks and driveway aprons; and
- Installing Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps at intersections.
The City of New Orleans hosted a virtual community meeting via WebEx in August 2020 to discuss anticipated impacts to the community. View a copy of the presentation here. For more information about this project and other upcoming work, please visit roadwork.nola.gov or call 504.658.ROAD (7623).
