City of New Orleans and Department of Public Works’ construction contractor, Durr Heavy Construction, LLC, is set to begin a $753,000 city-funded refurbishment project on three New Orleans East bridges this month. Crews will work successively beginning with the Morrison Canal Bridge and the overall project will take approximately seven months to complete. Public safety is our top priority; residents and commuters should plan to travel at slower speeds and use caution when driving, bicycling and walking near these construction sites.
