DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS MAINTENANCE IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS UNDERWAY

In early September construction contractor Barriere began working on three projects in the Marigny neighborhood. The $1.8M city-funded roadway improvement projects are part of Moving New Orleans Bikes’ effort to improve roadways and safety for bike riders.  Improvements will be made at these locations: Elysian Fields – from North Peters to St. Claude, roadway surfacing and reducing the roadway to two travel lanes plus a bike lane; Franklin Avenue – from North Peters to St. Claude Patch, drain line repairs, roadway resurfacing, and extensions of ADA-compliant curb ramps at Franklin and Chartres, and Franklin and Burgundy; and Royal Street – from Elysian Fields to Esplanade, roadway resurfacing.

 

In early September crews began working on the  St. Bernard and North Claiborne Pervious Parking Lanes Project, a $547K city-funded infrastructure improvement project near the iconic Circle Food Store. Crews from Hard Rock Construction Co. are installing new parking lanes made of pervious (allows water to move throughout) pavement to help with storm water management in the area. The project is expected to take two months to complete.

 

Last month the city launched a pilot program to help address flooding issues in Lakeview alleys.  The $642K Lakeview Pervious Alleyway Restoration Pilot Program is under construction in the alleyways behind the 6200 block of Marshall Foch (between Harrison Avenue and French Street) and the 6300 block of Argonne Boulevard (between Harrison and Bragg Street). Work includes installing pervious pavement to help re-direct stormwater and alleviate flooding, and the project is expected to be complete early next month.

 

On the West Bank, the $400K city-funded Bocage Maintenance Improvements was wrapping up construction on Rue Delphine, Rue Mignon, Rue Denise, and Rue Colette, with completion expected early next month, weather permitting. Crews are moving to Rue Nicole and Rue Andree in October with an anticipated completion date in early November.

 

Barriere construction crews continue making progress as they install permeable paving in the parking lanes along Notre Dame Street between Magazine Street and Convention Center Boulevard. The $800K city-funded project also includes installing three feet of stormwater storage and a perforated pipe installed underneath the pavement. The surface of the street is being repaved from curb to curb and new sidewalks will be installed.  Construction is scheduled to be complete in late 2020, weather permitting.
