Earlier this month, Palmisano construction crews began work on the southbound lanes of Canal Boulevard, between Robert E. Lee Boulevard and Amethyst Street, and re-opened the northbound lanes to two-way traffic. Subcontractors put the finishing touches on the northbound side by installing sod throughout the public right of way and on the neutral ground. The entire project is scheduled to be wrapped up in January 2021.
The scope of the $4.5M Canal Boulevard Reconstruction project includes replacing the drain, sewer and water lines, rebuilding the street entirely, repairing sidewalks and curbs, installing a dedicated bike lane, and installing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) complaint curb ramps.
Information about this project was made available at a pre-construction public meeting held in June 2019. Access the presentation here.
