Barriere Construction, in close collaboration with the City of New Orleans and Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans, are working together to restore damaged infrastructure in Central City as part of the Central City Group A project. In December, crews began water line work while continuing sewer work on South Derbigny Street (First Street to Josephine Street), South Rocheblave Street (Toledano Street to Martin Luther King Boulevard) and First Street (Loyola Avenue to South Liberty Street).
Residents will continue to be informed ahead of any work that will involve utility disruption and/or impact their parking and access to their streets.
This $9.1M full-depth reconstruction project was designed by C.H. Fenstermaker and Associates, LLC. 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 August 2020 to discuss anticipated impacts to the community. View a copy of the presentation here.
