During excavation, the City identified a need for additional drainage elements under the roadway on the S. Galvez Street Reconstruction Project in Central City.
Additions to the scope of work required approval from Federal Community Development Block Grant so Command Construction Industries, LLC crews have been temporarily re-assigned to other projects. Crews are expected to return to the site in the next several weeks.
The S. Galvez Street Infrastructure Improvement Project will enhance the public area and trigger subsequent recovery and investment in surrounding neighborhoods. The project was designed in accordance with the City of New Orleans’ Complete Streets policy.
The scope of work for this project includes full reconstruction of the roadway, including:
- Replacing the existing sewer, water and drainage lines;
- Widening the neutral ground;
- Narrowing the roadway from 35 ft. to 26 ft.; and
- Reconfiguring the roadway from two travel lanes and one parking lane to one travel lane, one dedicated bicycle lane and one parking lane.
