The city of New Orleans is set to begin infrastructure upgrades in some neighborhoods beginning next month.

On the West Bank, new concrete panels will be installed in the 6900-7000 blocks of Tullis Drive. The $325,000 city-funded project will take around 30 days to complete and require a temporary closure between Lancaster and Blair streets, a news release said.

On the 4200 block of Herschel Drive, improvements include new concrete and curbs, Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps and street width and length of driveways adjustments. Herschel Drive will be closed between Kabel Drive and Hyman Place for the duration of the project. The approximately $145,000 improvements will take approximately 30 days to complete.

On Garden Oaks Drive, new concrete panels, ADA-compliant curb ramps will be installed as part of the Moving New Orleans Bikes – Algiers project. There will be intermittent closures on Garden Oaks Drive throughout construction. The $1.2 million project will take approximately two months to complete.

In New Orleans East, an upsized drainage line will be installed in the 4300-4600 blocks of Murano Road where localized flooding has occurred. The $425,000 project will take around 30 days to complete.

In the downtown area, a combination of permeable pavement and traditional infrastructure will be constructed between St. Charles Avenue and Carondelet Street in an attempt to reduce flooding. The $445,000 project will take around two months to complete, and the roadway between the two streets will be temporarily closed to vehicles.

A future maintenance project that involves concrete panel replacements will begin in early 2020 on General Meyer Avenue between Sullen Place and Bennett Street, the news release said.
