Command Construction Industries, LLC crews are 18 percent complete with the Fleur de Lis Dr. Phase III Reconstruction Project between 30th St. and Old Hammond Hwy. in the West End neighborhood.

Work is progressing well on the S. Johnson and Melodia Ct. project; construction is approximately 90 percent complete.

The construction contract to refurbish the Magnolia Bridge, which crosses Bayou St. John near Cabrini High School, is currently out for public bid and scheduled to open on Sept. 13, 2017.

Reconstruction of the Wisner Bridge over I-610 is slightly delayed and the detour remains in effect. Construction of the new $19.5M bridge began in December 2015. It was originally scheduled to be completed this spring; however, during construction, the Department of Transportation and Development determined that the finger joints, which connect sections of the bridge deck together, did not fit properly. As a result, the designer is implementing corrective measures to ensure public safety for the design life of the bridge.  This is expected to delay completion of the bridge until September 30, 2017.  This new date will allow the bridge to be open for use by the pedestrians and bicyclists, as well as vehicular traffic at the same time.

The Department of Public Works is currently working with Barriere Construction Co., LLC to improve drainage on Henry Clay Ave. between St. Charles Ave. and Hurst St.
