Waterline work continues under close collaboration with Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans in the Central City Group A project. Barriere Construction crews are working weekends to remain on schedule and address curbing and repaving efforts. In March, crews continued waterline and sewer line work in addition to sidewalk and driveway apron restoration. The project is scheduled to be completed in fall 2021, weather permitting.
Residents will continue to be informed ahead of any work that will involve utility disruption and / or impact their parking and access to their streets.
This $9.1M full-depth reconstruction project was designed by C.H. Fenstermaker and Associates, LLC. The scope of work varies block by block but includes 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.
The City of New Orleans hosted a virtual meeting via WebEx in August 2020 to discuss anticipated impacts to the community. View a copy of the presentation here. For more information about this project and other upcoming work, please visit roadwork.nola.gov or call 504.658.ROAD (7623).
