Public safety is our priority; residents and commuters are reminded to use caution when driving, bicycling and walking near the construction site. The project is scheduled to be completed in December, weather permitting.

Several streets crossing Bourbon Street will be temporarily closed to vehicular traffic to allow utility contractors to perform underground improvements. The contractors will install temporary metal traffic plates when work is completed so normal traffic flow can be restored as soon as possible. The majority of the utility work will be done by excavating sidewalks; however, some work will impact roadway access.
