As the Pontilly Neighborhood Stormwater Network is nearly 50 percent complete and scheduled to be finished in fall 2020, Fleming Construction crews move into the Pontchartrain Park area on Dreux Avenue and Congress Street.  Soon, crews will install drainage pipes in between alleyways from Press Drive through the entire subdivision to Congress Street. The alleyways will connect the entire stormwater project to create a network of “gray-green” infrastructure items that will help alleviate flooding in the historic neighborhood.

The $15M Pontilly Neighborhood Stormwater Network extends from Stephen Girard Avenue to Southern University at New Orleans. A pre-construction community meeting was held in February 2019 at Mary D. Coghill Elementary School. View the pre-construction public meeting presentation here.
