The City of New Orleans Department of Public Works (DPW) and Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans (SWBNO) are working together to implement this $2.3B program to restore damaged infrastructure, using local and federal funds.
City-wide Pavement Assessment
The City completed a comprehensive, scientific assessment of City-owned streets in spring 2015 and received the final results of the assessment in the summer of 2016. The City is using the results of the pavement assessment as part of the method to prioritize future infrastructure projects. To review results on your block click here.

Results

- Approximately 65% of the City’s streets rated in Poor or worse condition.
- Historical levels of funding for streets is inadequate to prevent the overall condition of the City’s streets from getting worse.
- It would take approximately $5B in funding to reconstruct/repave all of the City’s streets that are currently in Poor or worse condition.
