Wallace C. Drennan crews, in collaboration with Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans, are set to begin water line tie ins on the Lower Ninth Ward Northwest Group B project. Crews have completed water line installations on Reynes Street (N. Derbigny Street to Tonti Street) and are now ready to begin connecting those lines to the existing water supply. Residents will continue to be notified ahead of any work that will impact their access and utilities.
This 5.7M project, designed by Burk–Kleinpeter, Inc., varies block by block but includes the following:
• Installation of new subsurface drainage, sewer, and water lines;
• Removal and replacement of sidewalks and driveways aprons;
• Installation of Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps at intersections;
• Manhole adjustments; and
• Repaving of the roadway.
Details of this project were made available at the pre-construction public meeting. View a copy of the public meeting presentation here.
