The Army Corps of Engineers and its contractor will temporarily close a portion of Lakeshore Drive between Pratt Drive and the entrance to the University of New Orleans on Saturday to allow workers to position cranes, barges and other equipment in the London Avenue Canal as part of the construction of a permanent canal closure and pump station near the canal's mouth.
The road segment will be closed from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The permanent canal closure and pump station is one of three being built by PCCP Constructors JV as part of a $615 million contract.
