The City of New Orleans, Department of Public Works (DPW) and Regional Transit Authority (RTA) continue to work to improve the traffic signalization and timing conditions at the intersection of Canal St., City Park Ave. and Canal Blvd. following the recent extension of the Canal Streetcar line. 

A recent inspection of several New Orleans East bridges revealed the structures are not safe for vehicular traffic. In response, the City has closed the bridges to allow a licensed engineer to assess the conditions of each bridge and prepare engineering plans to repair the bridges.

The City’s construction contractor, Barriere Construction Co., LLC is currently 35 percent complete repaving the roadways within Joe W. Brown Memorial Park. The $1.2M construction project is the second of three projects planned in the park.

Command Construction Industries, LLC crews are currently 13 percent complete with the Read Boulevard West Group A project. This is the first of two projects planned in the neighborhood.

Hard Rock Construction, LLC crews are currently 20 percent complete with the FEMA-funded Read Boulevard East Group A project. This is the first of six construction projects planned to improve the infrastructure in the Read Boulevard East neighborhood, which spans from Read Boulevard, I-10, I-510 and Chef Menteur Highway.
