At more than 40 percent complete, Fleming Construction crews are working on Press Drive and Dreux Avenue in Pontchartrain Park as part of the Pontilly Neighborhood Stormwater Network project.
The contractors are installing stormwater lots and bioswales to absorb water, and will begin working on drainage tie-ins in alleyways between the streets. The “gray-green” infrastructure project is scheduled to be finished in fall 2020, weather permitting.
The $15M Pontilly Neighborhood Stormwater Network extends from Stephen Girard Avenue to Southern University at New Orleans. A pre-construction community meeting was held in February 2019 at Mary D. Coghill Elementary School. View the pre-construction public meeting presentation here.
