Beginning on Monday, Feb. 1, through Friday, Feb. 5, 2021, weather permitting, City of New Orleans Department of Public Works contractor Wallace C. Drennan, Inc. will close the intersection at Cambronne and Birch streets to vehicular traffic as part of the Hollygrove, Leonidas Group A project. Traffic controls and signage will be in place; residents and commuters are reminded to use caution when driving, bicycling and walking near the construction site.
Construction crews will close the intersection in order to remove and replace the entire intersection all at one time. This has the potential to shorten the duration of the closure to approximately five working days and lessen the impact to vehicular traffic. 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.
The scope of work for the $15 million Hollygrove, Leonidas Group A infrastructure improvement project includes replacing / repairing damaged underground water, sewer and/or drainage lines; repairing damaged curbs and gutters; patching the roadway with asphalt; replacing damaged sidewalks and driveway aprons; and installing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant curb ramps at intersections.
Work on the entire project is scheduled to be complete in spring 2021, weather permitting. Questions about this project or RoadworkNOLA should be directed to 504.658.ROAD (7623) or roadwork@nola.gov.
