The city of New Orleans says crews today are closing part of Magazine Street near the river.
"The closure will remain in effect until Friday, Nov. 11, 2022, weather permitting," according to a news release.
Officials say the 7000 to 7100 blocks of Magazine Street need to be completely closed as part of the Magazine Street (Leake Avenue to East Drive) project.
Crews are replacing drainage and resurfacing the roadway in a project many say is many years overdue.
