Drivers heading downtown on Prytania will be diverted at Nashville Avenue to St. Charles Avenue or Magazine Street. Drivers heading uptown on Prytania will be diverted at Josephine Street to St. Charles or Magazine.
The project is part of a Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Control project that also includes the construction of 1,300 feet of reinforced concrete covered canal under the neutral ground of Prytania Street between Nashville and Jefferson avenues.
The Prytania canal will tie into a similar canal under Jefferson Avenue.
Additional road closures are expected in the area over the next year. Notifications will be made as needed.
