TRAFFIC ADVISORY: Lane Closure on North Broad Avenue and Bienville Avenue Intersection
NEW ORLEANS — The City of New Orleans today announced that Department of Public Works (DPW) construction contractor, Hard Rock Construction, LLC, will conduct a partial lane closure in the 2700 block of Bienville Avenue that will extend into the North Broad Avenue intersection beginning Monday, March 13 at 7 a.m. This closure will remain in effect until Friday, March 31 at 5 p.m.
Crews recently completed subsurface utility work in this area and the closure will allow for crews to permanently restore the street as part of the $24.4 million Mid-City Group B Project. Public safety is our top priority; therefore, signage and traffic control measures, such as barricades and fencing, will be onsite to direct drivers and pedestrians to the safest route of travel.
The $24.4 million Mid City Group B Infrastructure Improvement Project consists of removing, replacing and repairing existing water, sewer and drainage lines, repaving the roadways, installing new sidewalks as necessary and installing American with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps at all intersections. The project is currently scheduled to begin wrapping up in the fall of 2023.
Since May 2018, DPW has completed 152 projects with an estimated value of $568 million. Today, 52 roadwork projects are under construction with an estimated value of nearly $561 million.
Please visit roadwork.nola.gov for more information. Questions about this project or RoadworkNOLA should be directed to 504.658.ROAD (7623) or roadwork@nola.gov.
