Traffic Advisory Temporary Lane Reduction: The 1500 block of Camp Street
NEW ORLEANS — Beginning Friday, Dec. 19, the Office of Resilience & Sustainability contractor RNGD Infrastructure, LLC, will implement a temporary lane reduction in the 1500 block of Camp Street to begin waterline and drainage repairs for the DPS01 Watershed (Broadmoor HMGP) Drainage Upgrades and Green Infrastructure Project (Phase I).
The temporary closure will remain in effect until 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 31. Traffic on Camp Street will be shifted to the right lane to Race Street, where both lanes will be open for travel. During this project, the contractor will be working from 7 a.m. until sunset, Monday through Friday, weather permitting.
The DPS 01 Watershed Drainage Upgrades and Green Infrastructure project is a two-phased implementation approach to reduce flooding, particularly in the Broadmoor and Central City neighborhoods, and implement green infrastructure (GI) features in the stormwater drainage system to reduce runoff and create and enhance public landscape and park amenities. This will be accomplished by upgrading the City’s stormwater drainage infrastructure to include stormwater detention features, infiltration, and landscape features along with street upgrades.
