City of New Orleans contractor Beverly Construction LLC is currently performing final waterline point repairs throughout the Lower Ninth Ward Northeast Group A project, bringing work in the area closer to substantial completion.
In addition to waterline repairs, crews are working on Lamanche Street removing damaged roadway and sidewalks, and forming/pouring Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps.
The project is on schedule to meet its winter 2019 deadline. Residents, schools and businesses in the area will continue to be notified of any weekend or extended work hours as a result of inclement weather or holidays.
The $3.5M project is the second of thirteen planned FEMA-funded construction project, which 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.
