Fleming Construction Co., LLC crews, in close collaboration with Sewerage and Water Board New Orleans, continued water line tie-ins throughout the Lower Ninth Ward Northeast Group B infrastructure improvement project this month. Crews are connecting new waterlines to the communities’ existing water supply and they expect to begin paving operations immediately after all connections are completed. Residents will continue to be notified of work that will impact their access and/or cause disruption to their utilities.
This $5.8M project was designed by Neel-Schaffer, Inc. and is being constructed by Fleming Construction Co., LLC.
Construction started in June 2020 and is expected to be complete in fall 2021, weather permitting. This scope of this full-depth reconstruction project varies block by block but may include the following:
- Replacing damaged underground water, sewer and drainage lines;
- Repaving the roadway;
- Replacing damaged sidewalks and driveway aprons; and
- Installing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant curb ramps at intersections.
Information about this project was made available at a public pre-construction meeting on May 5, 2020. The presentation can be found here. For more information about this project and other upcoming work, please visit roadwork.nola.gov or call 504.658.ROAD (7623).
