Henry Clay drainage improvement project underway

The Department of Public Works is currently working with Barriere Construction Co., LLC to improve drainage on Henry Clay Ave. between St. Charles Ave. and Hurst St.

Construction on the $1M project is approximately 15 percent complete and the project scope of work includes:

• Removing and replacing the top layer of asphalt pavement;
• Patching damaged base failures;
• Installing two 15-inch drainage pipes;
• Installing eight new catch basins;
• Repairing a damaged drain line on St. Charles Ave. near the intersection of Henry Clay Avenue
• Installing new Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps at appropriate intersections;
• Making minimal sidewalk, driveway apron and foot lap adjustments; and
• Installing new high pressure gas lines in concert with this project as opposed to disturbing the neighborhood again, in the future.

  Construction is scheduled to last through the summer.
