Residents in this area are currently being notified of the closure via a neighborhood canvass. Crews have begun excavating the affected streets to repair the subsurface water lines. Immediately following the completion of repairs, roadway restoration will begin. In the interest of prioritizing public safety, barricades will be placed within a one block radius of the site. West bound traffic will be rerouted around this area through Homer Plessy Street to Dauphine Street and up Louisa Street.
