On Tuesday, Feb. 23, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., the inside westbound lane of the 100 block of City Park Avenue will be closed to vehicular traffic so that crews can repair a leaning streetlight. Lane closure signs will be in place throughout the process; residents and commuters are reminded to use caution when driving, bicycling and walking near the area. 

During this time, street parking and/or driveway access will be impacted. Residents and visitors must adhere to any “No Parking” signs on the streets to avoid being ticketed and towed.   

Questions about this project or RoadworkNOLA should be directed to 504.658.ROAD (7623) or roadwork@nola.gov.
