Construction Update – St Louis Street

By St Louis Street
We've had great weather since construction began and are making good progress. Our team has continued to repair the base of the culvert from Spring Hill Avenue to Jefferson Street, and the damaged lid is being removed to Bayou Street. The brick culvert wall in the last photo is likely circa 1905 during Mayor Lyons’ time in office and push for new infrastructure. The new concrete culvert lid is currently being poured, with a much more secure and appropriate design for a long-lasting product. Water lines and inserta valves are being replaced down to Scott Street. We detected a critical…
