The Canal Boulevard Full Depth Reconstruction Project began in August 2019, and is expected to continue through summer 2020, weather permitting. Entergy Electric remains onsite performing utility work on southbound Canal Blvd.
The northbound side of Canal between Robert E. Lee Blvd. and Amethyst St. is closed to traffic and the southbound side has been temporarily converted to accommodate two-way traffic.
This $5.3M project includes: repairing sewage, water, and drainage lines; rebuilding the street entirely; repairing sidewalks and curbs; installing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant curb ramps; and installing a bike lane. The project was designed by Integrated Logistical Support, Inc. and is being constructed by Palmisano Construction.
The City hosted a pre-construction community meeting to discuss anticipated construction impacts. View a copy of the presentation here.
