NEW ORLEANS – The City of New Orleans issued a traffic advisory for a travel lane closure on Prytania Street between Peniston Street and General Taylor Street to facilitate road repairs as part of the FEMA-funded Recovery Roads Program designed to restore sub-surface and roadway damages related to Hurricane Katrina.
Beginning Monday, June 15, 2015, at 7:00 a.m., the Downtown bound travel lane of the 3800 block of Prytania Street, between Peniston Street and General Taylor Street will be closed to vehicular traffic. The closure will last for approximately two weeks. To minimize construction impacts, the Uptown bound travel lane will remain open. The closure will allow workers to excavate a portion of the roadway, replace the base and install pavement.
On-street parking along this travel lane closure will be prohibited at all times during construction. Construction crews will be working from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Work on Saturdays may occur when necessary.
Residents should exercise caution when driving, bicycling or walking near active construction sites.
