TRAFFIC ADVISORY: Update on Lakebound Road Closure on N. Rampart Street from Canal Street to Iberville Street

The City of New Orleans announces that crews have encountered unexpected delays during the roadway restoration on North Rampart Street. As a result, the lakebound traffic closure between Canal Street and Iberville Street will now remain in effect until Nov. 11. This additional time will allow crews to effectively form and pour the roadway as part of the Hotel Collapse Site Rehabilitation Project.

During this closure, vehicular traffic will continue to be rerouted to Basin Street. The Regional Transit Authority (RTA) bus service will replace streetcar service on the 46-Rampart-Loyola line. Please refer to the attached map for detour details.

Safety remains the City's top priority. Signage and traffic control measures, including barrels and fencing, will be in place to guide both drivers and pedestrians safely through the area.

The Hotel Collapse Site Rehabilitation Project includes waterline and drainage installations, as well as pavement and sidewalk restoration at various locations along Iberville, Burgundy, Canal, and North Rampart Streets. Crews are working from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, with weekend work as needed. The entire project is expected to be completed by January 2025, weather permitting.
