NEW ORLEANS — Today, Thursday, March 9, beginning at 7:30 a.m., the City of New Orleans construction contractor, Boh Bros. Construction, LLC, began a series of lane closures in order to accommodate work on St. Charles Avenue. The first closure, the eastbound low lane (sidewalk side) of St. Charles Avenue from Louisiana Avenue to Third Street, will last for approximately one week. Residents and commuters are reminded to use caution when driving, bicycling and walking in the project area.
Immediately following the eastbound low lane closure, there will be lane closures on both the east and westbound high lanes (median sides) that will remain in place until May 30.
The $4.3 million St. Charles Avenue repaving project calls for removing damaged portions of the asphalt roadway and replacing it with new, smooth pavement. The scope of the project includes repaving the asphalt roadway from curb-to-curb; installing American with Disabilities Act-compliant curb; installing ramps at intersections; and replacing / repairing damaged underground water, sewer, and/or drainage lines.
