Durr Construction crews began work on the Village De L’est Group C project in October but took a brief pause in November due to issues discovered during the excavation process. In close collaboration with the Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans, the contractor began the point repairs that would allow work to resume on the project in December.
Roadway excavation, water line installations and sidewalk work are set to resume this month pending the inspection of the repair.
Residents in the area 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.
This $6.8M full-depth reconstruction project was designed by Hartman Engineering, Inc. The scope of work varies block by block but includes the following:
- Replace damaged underground water, sewer and drainage lines;
- Repave the roadway;
- Replace damaged sidewalks and driveway aprons; and
- Install Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps at intersections.
The City of New Orleans hosted a virtual community meeting via Webex in July 2020 to discuss anticipated impacts to the community. View a copy of the presentation here.
