Department of Public Works, Sewerage and Water Board, Neel-Schaffer and Beverly Construction LLC plan to complete final inspection of the Lower Ninth Ward Northeast Group A project in February. Partial inspection of waterline work and sidewalks are currently underway.

Crews will complete suggested changes and adjustments from the partial and final inspections; the project remains on schedule to meet its winter 2019 deadline.

The $3.5M Lower Ninth Ward Northeast Group A 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.
