Traffic Advisory: Temporary Lane Closure on 5500 Elysian Fields Avenue
NEW ORLEANS — Beginning on Friday, Sept. 23 at 7 a.m., the City of New Orleans Department of Public Works contractor Command Construction Industries, LLC, will temporarily close the northbound (right-hand) lane of the 5500 block of Elysian Fields Avenue to vehicular traffic to accommodate construction on the Milneburg Group A project.
The lane closure will remain in effect until Friday, Oct. 7 at 5:30 p.m. Public safety is our top priority; signage and traffic control measures, such as barrels, will be onsite to direct drivers and pedestrians.
During this time, crews will be removing and replacing sections of damaged concrete roadway which will limit northbound traffic on Elysian Fields Avenue to one lane between Odin Street and Mendez Street. Residents in this area were notified of the closure through a neighborhood canvass.
The Milneburg Group A project was designed by Mott MacDonald, Inc. and is being constructed by Command Construction Industries, LLC.

The scope of work varies by block but includes repairing sewage, water and drainage lines, rebuilding the street entirely and repairing sidewalks and curbs. In general, the contractor is working from 7 a.m. until sunset, Monday through Friday. The entire project is scheduled to be complete by the winter of 2023, weather permitting.
