Last month, Hard Rock Construction Co., LLC crews completed paving work on various blocks in the $6.3M Mid-City Group A infrastructure improvement project. The completion of these areas accounted for 92 percent of the originally contracted paving work. Crews continue street rehabilitation work and are expected to begin sewer line work later this month based upon the findings of recent closed-circuit television (CCTV) testing.
The community will continue to be informed ahead of any work that will involve utility disruption and / or impact their parking and access to their streets. Residents are asked to continue to be mindful of “No Parking” signs installed prior to roadwork. Vehicles are eligible for towing if not moved within 24 hours of signs being placed.
This project was designed by Infinity Engineering and is being constructed by Hard Rock Construction Co., LLC. The entire project was originally scheduled to be complete this fall; however, additional scope has been added. All work is scheduled to be completed in spring 2021, weather permitting.
The scope for the project varies by block, but includes the following types of work:
- Patch Mill/Overlay: Repaving the asphalt roadway from curb to curb and repair damaged sidewalks;
- Patch Concrete: Removing damaged portions of the concrete roadway and replace it with new smooth concrete pavement;
- Incidental Road Repairs: Removing damaged portions of the asphalt roadway and replace it with new smooth pavement; and
- Non-Paving Incidentals: Repairing damaged sidewalks, driveway aprons and curbs within the public right-of-way.
The City of New Orleans hosted a pre-construction meeting in July 2019 to discuss anticipated impacts to the community. View a copy of the presentation here.
