Water line work continues in the St. Claude Drainage Improvement Project, and crews from Infinity Construction remain focused on forming and pouring new sidewalks. Catch basins, sidewalks and manhole adjustments were made in the 2900 block of Marais Street and the 1100 blocks of Feliciana and Montegut streets. Additional work completed includes installations of curbs, gutters, and bioretention planters and swales for drainage. Crews began prepping those blocks for final paving as well.
The $1.5M St. Claude Drainage Improvements project is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Community Development Block Grant Program. The scope of work includes:
- Replacing damaged water, sewer and drainage lines;
- Rebuilding the street entirely;
- Repairing sidewalks and curbs; and
- Installing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant curb ramps at intersections.
The project area includes the 1100 blocks of Montegut and Feliciana streets as well as the 3000 blocks of Urquhart and Marais streets. All businesses in the area remain open and accessible. Details of this project were made available at the pre-construction public meeting. View a copy of the public meeting presentation here.
