All water main installations have been completed between Robert E. Lee Boulevard and Amethyst Street, and crews began prepping the roadway for the binder layer of asphalt installation this month. Crews also started creating forms for new concrete curbs, gutters, sidewalks and driveway aprons along the southbound lanes. The project is on schedule to be complete in March 2021, weather permitting.
The scope of the $4.5M Canal Boulevard Reconstruction project includes replacing the drain, sewer and water lines, rebuilding the street entirely, repairing sidewalks and curbs, installing a dedicated bike lane, and installing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant curb ramps.
Information about this project was made available at a pre-construction public meeting held in June 2019. Access the presentation here. For more information about this project and other upcoming work, please visit roadwork.nola.gov or call 504.658.ROAD (7623).
