Traffic Advisory: Extended Temporary Road Closure of the 4700-4900 Blocks of Painters Street
NEW ORLEANS — The City of New Orleans today announced the Department of Public Works (DPW) contractor, Barriere Construction, LLC, will extend the closure of the 4700 - 4900 blocks of Painters Street through Friday, Sept. 22 to accommodate the underground utility work and paving operations as part of the Gentilly Terrace Group E project. During this time, the intersections on Painters Street at Carnot, Mirabeau and Selma streets will be closed to vehicular traffic.
Public safety is our top priority; signage and traffic control measures, such as barrels and fencing, will be onsite to direct drivers and pedestrians. Motorists are advised to use caution during this time, as road closures and detours will be in effect. Residents and businesses in this area were notified of the closure through a neighborhood canvassing effort.
The $10.2 million Gentilly Terrace Group E project was designed by Integrated Logical Support, Inc. (ILSI) and is being constructed by Barriere Construction Company, LLC.

Since May 2018, DPW has completed 169 projects with an estimated value of $642 million. Today, 50 roadwork projects are under construction with an estimated value of nearly $649 million.
