CIVIL ENGINEERING FIRMS ARE KEY TO SUCCESSFUL ROAD CONSTRUCTION



A city is like a dynamic organism, changing and shifting its shape constantly. That’s why in cities like New Orleans, there’s always something new to discover, from new restaurants, to new art installations and other novel attractions. However, the infrastructure doesn’t always keep up with the ever-changing nature of the city. In fact, many of them stay the same over the years, falling behind the times—and often falling into disrepair. In particular, city streets are often the last to see upgrades, which can hinder transportation in an area as populations grow and more vehicles ply the roads. Luckily, New Orleans is investing heavily in upgrading the roadways in select areas of the city as part of the Capital Improvement Program, a $2.4 billion initiative.

Improving neighborhoods

One of the beneficiaries of this program is South Galvez Street in Central City. In particular, the Hoffman Triangle artery will be fully reconstructed, leading to smoother flow of traffic in the area. As part of this project, South Galvez Street will see a replacement of sewer, drainage and water lines, as well as the installation of a new absorbent concrete pavement.
