Traffic Advisory: Temporary Lane Adjustment on O’Keefe Avenue

NEW ORLEANS — The City of New Orleans today announces that the Department of Public Works (DPW) has temporarily adjusted traffic on O’Keefe Avenue between Girod and Poydras Streets, due to public safety concerns. Effective immediately, the left travel lane is now one-way with a 3-tons weight limit to reduce vibrations.

This change is necessary following the partial collapse of a building’s exterior brick wall. Signage and barricades are in place to guide pedestrians and vehicles safely through the area.

The intersection will reopen once the building receives the necessary structural support. Initially, traffic will be limited to one lane until the area is fully restored.

For more information, contact DPW at 504-658-8000.
