TRAFFIC ADVISORY EXTENDED: Temporary Lane Closures of Eastbound Travel on Carver Rams Way at the Piety Street Intersection
NEW ORLEANS - On Thursday July 2, 2026, the City of New Orleans announced the Department of Public Works (DPW) contractor Hard Rock Construction, would temporarily execute two lane closures to vehicular traffic for approximately 2 weeks. Due to previous rain delays and upcoming inclement weather, crews will need an additional 3 weeks to restore the inner lane and complete the flip of construction to the outer lane. Vehicular travel will still be maintained around active construction. Crews will only be closing the lane in which active construction is ongoing. These lane closures are necessary to complete the essential roadway restoration of the intersection in accordance with the RR403 Desire Group C and D NOFOG Project.
As a part of the RR403 Desire Group C and D NOFOG Project, crews will actively install new subsurface utilities along with roadway improvement throughout the area. Construction on this project is expected to continue through Fall 2028, weather permitting. During this time, repaving the asphalt roadway from curb-to-curb, repairing damaged sidewalks, installing ADA compliant curb ramps at intersections, and replacing damaged underground water, sewer and drainage lines construction will be underway.
Parking impacts are anticipated in the construction area. “No Parking” signs will be posted in advance, and motorists are encouraged to follow posted restrictions to help ensure a smooth and safe construction process. Work hours will be Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Safety is our top priority. Traffic control measures and signage will be in place to guide motorists and pedestrians safely through the area.
