Hard Rock Construction Co., LLC crews are continuing sewer line installations on the $24.4M Mid-City Group B project. The 4500 block of Iberville Street, 200 block of North Alexander Street, and 400 block of St. Patrick Street are receiving new sewer lines this month. Once sewer lines are installed, crews will perform sewer line house connections. As a reminder, we are upgrading extremely old utilities (water, sewer and drainage lines in some cases), so it is possible that upgrades to pipes in the public right-of-way could mean that subsequent upgrades are needed for pipes on private property.
Due to the sensitive archaeological nature of these areas, the City Archaeologist has been monitoring roadway excavation activity to protect and preserve historic findings. The community will continue to be informed ahead of any work that will involve utility disruption and / or impact parking and access to streets. Residents are asked to continue to be mindful of “No Parking” signs installed prior to roadwork. Vehicles are eligible for towing if not moved within 24 hours of signs being placed.
This project was designed by Infinity Engineering Consultants, LLC and is expected to be completed in fall 2022, weather permitting. You can view the project map here.
The scope of work varies by block and includes the following:
- Repaving the asphalt roadway from curb-to-curb;
- Patching the roadway with asphalt or concrete;
- Repairing damaged sidewalks and driveway aprons;
- Installing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant curb ramps at intersections; and
- Replacing / repairing damaged underground water, sewer, and drainage lines.
The City of New Orleans hosted a virtual meeting via WebEx in February 2021 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).
