The $4.8 million Lower Ninth Ward Northwest Group A project is currently 90 percent complete and on schedule to be wrapped up in November, weather permitting. The Department of Public Works’ construction contractor Fleming Construction Co., LLC has finished all concrete roadways on the project and plans to wrap up all asphalt work during the month of October.
Completed roadway and sidewalk work in the western portions of the project (bounded by North Claiborne Avenue, Jackson Barracks, Florida Avenue and Caffin Avenue) allowed crews to transition into the southern and eastern portions of the project (bounded by North Claiborne, Deslonde Street, Florida Avenue and Caffin Avenue) in September.
The scope of work for this project includes:
- Repaving the asphalt roadway from curb-to-curb;
- Patching the roadway with asphalt;
- Repairing damaged sidewalks and driveway aprons;
- Installing Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps at appropriate intersections; and
- Replacing/repairing damaged underground water, sewer and/or drainage lines.
The City hosted a pre-construction public meeting to discuss anticipated impacts prior to the start of construction. View a copy of the presentation here. To be added to the project contact list, and to track our progress, visit RoadWork.nola.gov.
