The $10.1M Milneburg Group B Full Reconstruction project started work in December of 2020 and is expected to complete construction in winter 2021. This project is completed in parallel with the Milneburg Group A project and addresses the roadway infrastructure in key areas of the neighborhood where full reconstruction is required, specifically Mandeville Street and Vienna Street near Pierre A Capdau at Avery Alexander Elementary School. High water levels and heavy rain contributed significant delays to closed circuit television sewer and drain line explorations that are necessary for performing repair and replacement. Waterline work on this project is complete. Workers will continue to replace driveway aprons along Spain, New York and Marigny streets.

The $15.4M Milneburg Group A project, which began construction in December 2020, is making progress and utilizing targeted weekend work to remain on schedule with this roadway restoration project. Waterline tie-ins are planned to continue throughout October – residents are being notified regarding test closures and other service interruptions related to this waterline and drainage infrastructure work that will progress following waterline testing. Crews will complete waterline testing along Franklin and Elysian avenues and other major neighborhood corridors ahead of planned tie-ins. The project is expected to complete in winter 2021.

The $7.1M Milneburg Group B infrastructure improvement project continues to make progress with pavement restoration, driveway installations and sidewalk work on New York and Marigny streets. Sewer and drainage line work took place along Vienna and Mandeville streets, along with waterline work on Arts Street and Spain Street.

This month, crews from Command Construction Industries continued pressure testing waterlines in the 2700 block of this Street and the 2500 block of Pressburg. Approximately 30 percent of the waterline testing for this project has been completed. Roadway base crews began working at Arts and Mexico streets this month and on the installation of ADA-compliant curb ramps throughout the project.

The $7.1M Milneburg Group B infrastructure improvement project continued to make progress in March with street paving operations, sidewalk and driveway apron installations, and new underground utilities.
