TRAFFIC ADVISORY: Temporary Lane Closure of Johnny Jackson Boulevard at Higgins Boulevard

NEW ORLEANS —The City of New Orleans Department of Public Works (DPW) announces that beginning Wednesday, August 6 at 7 a.m. the 3600 block of Johnny Jackson Jr. Boulevard / Louisa Street the 3600 block of Johnny Jackson Jr. Boulevard / Louisa Street and the 3200 block of Higgins Boulevard / Carver Rams Way will be intermittently closed to through traffic for approximately three weeks. The temporary closure will allow DPW contractor Hardrock Construction Co. LLC to complete street repairs as part of the DPW775: Right of Way Improvement Concrete Project. Local access will be maintained.

Parking will be prohibited on blocks where crews are actively working. “No parking” signs will be posted in advance to notify residents and businesses.

Drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes during the closure. Traffic control measures — including signage, cones, and fencing — will be in place to ensure the safety of drivers and pedestrians.

This work is part of the DPW775: Right of Way Concrete Improvement Project, which includes concrete panel replacement, paving and sidewalk repairs at various locations throughout the city.
