Sherwod Forest Drive roadway improvements began in Febraury 2021; however due to adjustments in the scope of work, the project came to an abrupt halt in March. Fleming Construction, LLC crews have placed temporary aggregate and reopened the street to vehicular traffic and parking until roadway construction resumes.  Residents will receive notice prior to work resuming.

Crews began work on the $5.1M Black Pearl Group B project in December 2020. Contractor Infinity Construction is replacing sewer lines in the 7400 and 7600 blocks of Dominican, and this work will continue for the next few months. A full roadway construction has begun in the 300 block of Millaudon Street. Some work has been halted on this project due to high water levels and the proximity to the Mississippi River, but work will resume in those areas as the river levels drop by 11 feet at the Carrollton gauge.
