In an effort to remain on schedule TKTMJ is  working with the City of New Orleans to include repairs to the boat launch to the Breakwater Drive improvement project. Final approval on this expanded scope will be determined by FEMA this month. Crews continue to work on the new parking surfaces. Additional scope has moved anticipated completion to fall 2021.  Residents will continue to be notified of the work schedule as details develop.  

This $5M project, designed by All South Engineering, includes the following scope of work: 
 

• Repaving the asphalt roadway; 
• Patching the roadway with asphalt or concrete;  
• Repairing damaged sidewalks and driveway aprons;  
• Installing Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps at intersections;  
• Adding riprap and rehabilitating the breakwater retaining wall; 
• Adding sidewalk along the retaining wall on both the north and west berms; 
• Rehabilitating the parking areas along Breakwater Dr.; and 
• Rehabilitating the boat launch area and parking lot. 

Details of the construction sequencing and timeline were first made available at the pre-construction public meeting. View a copy of the public meeting presentation and details about construction sequencing here.
