Beverly Construction, LLC., crews, in close collaboration with the Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans, have completed waterline tie-ins throughout the St. Bernard Group A infrastructure improvement project area. New waterlines have been successfully tied into the existing water supply on Sere, Encampment and Cadillac streets. Waterline installations continue on St. Bernard Avenue within the project limits. Environmental testing of these newly installed lines is planned for late October before completing the tie-in process. Roadway paving is expected to begin immediately after.
Residents will continue to be informed ahead of any work that will involve utility disruption and / or impact their parking and access to their streets. Any residents that require reasonable accommodations on the site are encouraged to call the Roadwork NOLA hotline.
Anticipated completion of this project is winter 2022.
