NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - City contract construction crews are once again tearing up streets in the French Quarter, including portions of Bourbon Street. The work has some business owners wondering why.
Roadwork is taking place in the 800 block of Bourbon St., an area that had just been repaired not long ago.
“It’s so frustrating,” said Josh Duffy, owner of Bourbon Pride, a souvenir shop on Bourbon St. The construction project is only feet away from his shop and he said projects like this are concerning because the City never gave business owners like him a heads up.
