City of New Orleans contractor Beverly Construction LLC worked some weekends in July on the Lower Ninth Ward Northeast Group A to make up for time lost due to rain. Crews worked on the eastern area (bounded by North Claiborne Avenue, Jackson Barracks, Florida Avenue and Caffin Avenue) to remove damaged roadway and sidewalks and form / pour Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps.
The project is 55 percent complete and remains ahead of the winter 2019 deadline. Residents in the area will continue to be notified in advance of any weekend or extended hour work.
The $3.5M Lower Ninth Ward Northeast Group A project is the second of thirteen planned FEMA-funded construction projects that will help improve road conditions in the Lower Ninth Ward neighborhood. The project was designed by Neel-Schaffer, Inc.
The scope of work for this project 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.
The City hosted a pre-construction public meeting to discuss anticipated impacts prior to the start of construction. View a copy of the presentation here. To be added to the project contact list, and to track our progress, visit RoadWork.nola.gov.
