Wallace C. Drennan, Inc. crews continue to work weekends to remain on schedule on the Lower Ninth Ward Northwest Group B project. Crews continue water line installations and tie-ins and have completed a substantial amount of the concrete pours along Reynes Street. Weekend work will continue through December with special considerations taken during the holidays.
Residents will continue to be notified of work that will impact their access and / or cause disruption to their utilities. RoadworkNOLA will also notify residents in advance of any extended day or weekend work that may be necessary.
Construction started in late December 2019 and is expected to be complete in spring 2021, weather permitting. This $5.7M project, designed by Burk–Kleinpeter, Inc., varies block by block but includes the following:
• Installation of new subsurface drainage, sewer, and water lines;
• Removal and replacement of sidewalks and driveways aprons;
• Installation of Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps at intersections;
• Manhole adjustments; and
• Repaving of the roadway.
Details of this project were made available at the pre-construction public meeting. View a copy of the public meeting presentation here.
