TRAFFIC ADVISORY: TEMPORARY LANE CLOSURES TO BEGIN MARCH 6 ON MORRISON ROAD FROM READ BOULEVARD TO BULLARD AVENUE
 NEW ORLEANS — The City of New Orleans Department of Public Works (DPW) is notifying residents and motorists of a temporary lane closure beginning Monday, March 6 on Morrison Road from Read Boulevard to Bullard Avenue. One travel lane will remain open to traffic in both directions.
This temporary closure is necessary to allow DPW contractor, RNGD, to begin concrete panel, curb, sidewalk, and ADA ramp replacements between Wright Road and Bullard Avenue as a part of the DPW574: Morrison Road (Mayo-Bullard) Improvement Project. Construction is expected to continue through April 2026, weather permitting.
Safety is our top priority. Traffic control measures — including signage, cones, and fencing — will be in place to ensure the safety of drivers and pedestrians. Local access will be maintained, and parking will be prohibited on blocks where crews are working. Drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes during the closure to avoid delays.
This work is a part of the DPW574: Morrison Road (Mayo–Bullard) Improvement Project, a $23.6 million investment funded by the Federal Highway Administration (80%) and the City of New Orleans Bond Program (20%).
The project includes roadway repairs, bridge, street, and sidewalk improvements to enhance safety, accessibility, and travel options for everyone, whether walking, biking, or driving. Work hours are generally Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with occasional weekend work as needed.
