This month crews from Command Construction Industries, LLC continued pressure testing waterlines, doing house connection tie-ins, installing the main drainage line on Mexico and Arts streets, and rehabbing catch basins and manholes. Crews will be moving to Pressburg, Prentiss and Marigny streets after completing work on Mexico and Arts streets. Pavement restoration will then begin to close up the open roadways.
Construction on this project started in late July 2020 and it is expected to be complete in fall 2021, weather permitting. The scope of work for the $17.5M Milneburg Group A project may include:
- Replacing / repairing damaged underground water, sewer and drainage lines;
- Repairing damaged curbs and gutters;
- Patching the roadway with asphalt;
- Replacing damaged sidewalks and driveway aprons; and
- Installing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant curb ramps at intersections.
