This month, Command Construction Industries crews continued asphalt excavation and roadway base work in the 1100-1200 blocks of Treme Street and on North Derbigny from Orleans Avenue to Bayou Road. Additional crews also began removing and replacing sidewalks and driveway aprons in the 1100-1300 blocks of Treme, and composite concrete work began in the 1700-2600 blocks of Dumaine Street. 

The work is part of the $6.3M Treme-Lafitte Group A infrastructure and road improvement project that started in March 2020.

The scope of work for this City of New Orleans and Sewerage & Water Board of New Orleans joint infrastructure project may include:

• Replacing / repairing damaged underground water, sewer and drainage lines;
• Repairing damaged curbs and gutters;
• Patching the roadway with asphalt;
• Repaving the asphalt roadway from curb-to-curb;
• Replacing damaged sidewalks and driveway aprons; and
• Installing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant curb ramps at intersections.

The project was designed by Meyer Engineers, Ltd. and is scheduled for completion in summer 2021, weather permitting.
