Water line installations continued in the Milneburg Group A project in November as crews from Command Construction Industries, LLC, put in new lines on Franklin Avenue, Prentiss Street, and Mendez Street. Entergy continued working on relocation of gas lines throughout the project area, and construction crews began replacement of the sewer main in the 2500 block of Mexico St.
Construction started in late July and is expected to be complete in fall 2021, weather permitting. Scope of work for the $17.5M Milneburg Group A project may include:
• Replacing/repairing damaged underground water, sewer and/or 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.
