City of New Orleans contractor, Beverly Construction LLC, completed three point repairs that required replacement of waterlines at Caffin Avenue at Dorgenois Street on the Lower Ninth Ward Northeast Group A Project.
The $3.4 million Incidental Road Repair project does not call for the replacement or repairing of waterlines throughout the project – only where leaks and damages are identified during the excavation and repaving process.
Crews are currently working in the northern and western portions of the area bounded by N. Claiborne Avenue, Jackson Barracks, Florida Avenue, and Caffin Avenue through June 2018.
The project scope of work includes:
- Repaving the asphalt roadway from curb-to-curb;
- Patching the roadway with asphalt;
- Repairing damaged sidewalks and driveway aprons; and
- Installing Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps at appropriate intersections.
This is the second of thirteen planned FEMA-funded construction project that will help improve road conditions in the Lower Ninth Ward neighborhood. The project was designed by Neel - Schaffer, Inc.
