NEW ORLEANS — The City of New Orleans today announced the Department of Public Works (DPW) contractor Barriere Construction, LLC will be performing a lane closure leading up to the entrance of the 5300 block of Painters Street beginning March 11 through March 18 to accommodate the underground utility work as part of the Gentilly Terrace Group E project. During this time, the two intersections of Painters Street at Filmore Avenue and Painters Street at Selma Street will be closed to vehicular traffic.
Public safety is our top priority; signage and traffic control measures, such as barrels and fencing, will be onsite to direct drivers and pedestrians. Motorists are advised to use caution during this time as road closures and detours will be in effect. Residents and businesses in this area were notified of the closure through a neighborhood canvass.
The $10.2 million Gentilly Terrace Group E project was designed by Integrated Logical Support, Inc. (ILSI), and is being constructed by Barriere Construction Company, LLC.
