TRAFFIC ADVISORY: TEMPORARY LANE CLOSURES OF ROADWAY AREAS WITHIN BRECHTEL PARK FOR RIGHT OF WAY ASPHALT IMPROVEMENTS

 

NEW ORLEANS — The City of New Orleans Department of Public Works (DPW) announces that beginning the week of December 1 at 7 a.m. there will be asphalt removal, patching, and milling on the main thoroughfare of Brechtel Park from Lennox Avenue Entrance to the loop adjacent to Tullis Drive. All areas are anticipated to be completed in approximately 3 weeks once started:

 

During this time, temporary lane closures will allow DPW contractor Hard Rock Construction Co. LLC to begin asphalt patching roadway improvements as part of the DPW771: Right of Way Asphalt Improvement Project in the area to improve drivability.

 

Traffic control measures — including signage, cones, and fencing — will be in place to ensure the safety of drivers and pedestrians. Parking will be prohibited on blocks where crews are actively working. “No parking” signs will be posted in advance to notify residents and businesses. Local access will be maintained, but drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes during these various closures.

 

This work is part of the DPW771: Right of Way Asphalt Improvement Project, which includes asphalt milling and overlay with replacement at various locations throughout the city. Construction activities generally take place 7 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday, with occasional weekend work as needed.
