In February, Command Construction Industries, LLC crews, in close collaboration with the Sewerage and Water Board New Orleans, resumed waterline work on the Little Woods Group A infrastructure improvement project. This month, crews plan to begin tying in the newly installed lines. In addition to water line work, the Department of Public Works (DPW) and its inspectors continued pre-pour inspections on the project area. These inspections ensure that everything is properly constructed prior to placement of the final layer of concrete or asphalt. Roadway paving operations are set to be completed this month, including the areas of Lake Carmel, Lehigh, Morrison and Yardley streets.

Residents will be notified of work that will impact their access and / or cause disruption to their utilities.

The scope of this $14M patch, mill, overlay and incidental road repairs project varies by block but includes:

• Repaving the asphalt roadway from curb-to-curb;
• Patching the roadway with asphalt or concrete;
• Repairing damaged sidewalks and driveway aprons;
• Installing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant curb ramps at intersections; and
• Replacing / repairing damaged underground water, sewer, and/or drainage lines.

Details of this project were first made available at a public pre-construction meeting. View a copy of the meeting presentation and details about construction sequencing here.
