The Mayor’s Office announced in its monthly roadwork newsletter that an unprecedented amount of infrastructure work altogether more than $550 million in roadway and other projects is currently underway in New Orleans.
Mayor LaToya Cantrell also said more more projects are in the works. She noted that $350 million in bonds approved for a tax-exempt sale will lead to multiple projects out for advertisement in the coming months. These projects include improving public spaces, adding stormwater storage and fixing streets.
Additionally, about $100 million in joint infrastructure roadway projects, $10 million in capital building projects, and $100 million in green infrastructure projects will go out for bid in the next few months.
