Construction of the third phase of Fleur de Lis Dr. between 30th St. and Old Hammond Hwy. in the West End neighborhood is well under way. The existing sewer force main has been removed from the traditionally north bound travel lane and crews are using the same trench to install the new water line. Water line work is approximately 50 percent complete. Drainage work will follow water line installation.

Full closure of the north bound travel lane is expected by the end of the month.

Two-way traffic is diverted onto the traditionally southbound travel lane.

The $12M project was awarded to Command Construction Industries, LLC. The scope of work includes:

• Removing and replacing the underground water, sewer and drainage lines;
• Repaving the roadway; and
• Installing new sidewalks and Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps at intersections.

The project is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2018.
