Traffic Advisory: Temporary Signal Outage at S. Liberty and Poydras Streets
NEW ORLEANS — The City of New Orleans today announced that beginning Monday, March 18, the Department of Public Works (DPW) in conjunction with Hard Rock Construction, LLC will perform electrical work at the intersection of South Liberty and Poydras Streets. While work is ongoing, crews do not anticipate lane closures along Poydras Street. However, the traffic light will be temporarily out, and stop signs will be placed at the intersection.
The traffic signal interruption is expected to last for approximately one week. During this time, crews will continue to maintain roadway accessibility. Signage and traffic control measures, such as barrels and fencing, will be onsite to safely direct drivers and pedestrians. Motorists are advised to use caution, as large trucks and heavy machinery will be hauling materials in the area.
Residents and businesses in this area were notified of the closure through a neighborhood canvassing effort.
Since May 2018, DPW has completed 186 projects at an estimated value of $832 million. Today, 50 roadwork projects are under construction at an estimated value of nearly $650 million.
