The full-depth St. Johnson and Melodia C .reconstruction project is nearing completion.  Rubion Roads & Streets has completed sidewalk and driveway work and are preparing to pour asphalt in the next week.

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, City of New Orleans, Regional Planning Commission and Federal Highway Administration will soon complete reconstruction of the $19.5M Wisner Bridge. The Wisner Bridge runs parallel to Bayou St. John and connects Wisner Blvd. over Interstate-610. The existing concrete girder was demolished when construction began in late 2015. The new steel girder bridge is 1800 ft. long, 65-ft wide and is being placed in the same location as the previous bridge.

The full-depth S. Johnson and Melodia Court Reconstruction Project is progressing well. The construction contractor has begun pouring curbs and sidewalks and the Sewerage & Water Board has completed most of the waterline tie-ins for the new utilities. Construction crews are expected to complete work by late Spring.

The first FEMA-funded program in the Capital Improvement Program, Lakeview North Group A, is set to start early May. This $2.3M project was designed by Lambert Consultants and is being constructed by Hard Rock Construction, LLC.

Construction of the third phase of Fleur de Lis Dr. between 30th St. and Old Hammond Hwy. in the West End neighborhood is well under way. The traditionally northbound travel lane is currently closed between 30th and Portland streets as crews replace the existing sewer line.
