PHASE I OF FRENCH QUARTER INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT SCHEDULED TO BE COMPLETE IN DECEMBER

The City, its partners and construction contractors, completed construction of the 100 block of Bourbon St. in September 2017. Bollards are scheduled to be installed in November.  

 

Crews are currently working in the 200, 300 and 400 blocks of Bourbon St. These blocks are closed to vehicular traffic while under construction though pedestrian access is available on the sidewalks and in the traditional roadway in the 300 block.

 

Due to significant rain delays, unforeseen site conditions and budget concerns, the City has determined that this project will be completed in phases.  

Phase 1: includes fully reconstructing the 100 – 400 blocks of Bourbon Street and installing safety bollards. It is on schedule to be completed in December 2017 and is being built using the Department of Public Works’ maintenance contract. 

Phase 2: includes fully reconstructing the 500 – 800 blocks of Bourbon Street. The design is being completed by Mott McDonald, LLC. The contract is scheduled to be put out to public bid through a separate contract with the goal of starting Phase II construction in May 2018.  The plan for bollard installation in the 400 - 800 blocks has not yet been finalized; until that time, New Orleans Police Department barricades will be used during major events. 

The project is being closely coordinated with a number of stakeholders including the Sewerage and Water Board, Entergy Electric, Entergy Gas and AT&T.

 

Residents and business owners in the French Quarter can expect to be kept updated on construction status via weekly e-mail updates and also in person bi-weekly meetings the first and third Thursday of the month at 10 a.m. To be added to the project contact list, email roadwork@nola.gov. View the project webpage here.

 

The City is working with Stay Local and other partners to support local French Quarter businesses during construction.
