The City of New Orleans Department of Sanitation assisted contractor Beverly Construction LLC with removing debris from the Lower Ninth Ward Northeast Group A project in preparation for sidewalk repairs and waterline replacements.
Crews are currently working in the northern and western portions of the area bounded by N. Claiborne Avenue, Jackson Barracks, Florida Avenue and Caffin Avenue through June 2018.
The $3.5M project is the second of thirteen planned FEMA-funded construction project that will help to improve road conditions in the Lower Ninth Ward neighborhood. The project was designed by Neel - Schaffer, Inc.
The project scope of work includes:
- Repaving the asphalt roadway from curb-to-curb;
- Patching the roadway with asphalt;
- Repairing damaged sidewalks and driveway aprons; and
- Installing Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps at appropriate intersections.
The City encourages anyone who observes someone illegally dumping to report it by calling 311 Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. There are plans for future neighborhood supported clean ups in the area.
