The $4.3M St. Charles Ave. Repaving Project, designed to remove and replace damaged portions of the asphalt roadway between Louisiana Ave. and Calliope St., is approximately 65 percent complete.
Despite several weather-related delays, the contractor remains on schedule and will move into the third and final phase of construction by mid-October. The third phase consist of repaving St. Charles Ave. from Felicity St. to Calliope St.
The scope of work includes:
- Repaving the asphalt roadway from curb-to-curb;
- Repairing damaged sidewalks and driveway aprons; and
- Installing Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps at intersections.
This project is a joint effort between the City of New Orleans and Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development.
The overall project is expected to be completed in early 2018.
