TRAFFIC ADVISORY: Full Street Closures on Iberville and Exchange Place - Wednesday, May 7

The City of New Orleans Department of Public Works (DPW) will temporarily close two blocks in the French Quarter on Wednesday, May 7, from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., as part of the DPW773 Right of Way (ROW) Improvement Project, weather permitting.

Iberville Street, from Royal Street to Chartres Street, and Exchange Place, from Canal Street to Bienville Street, will be fully closed to vehicular traffic to allow crews to perform a closed-circuit TV (CCTV) inspection of the underground drainage lines. This inspection is necessary to verify that the drainage infrastructure is intact ahead of upcoming street paving work.

Detour Information:

  • Motorists traveling on Iberville Street will be detoured onto Royal Street, then directed to Canal Street.

  • Pedestrian access will remain open throughout the closure.

  • Street parking will be allowed where possible.

  • A clearly marked detour plan will be in place to help guide traffic around the work areas.

The City appreciates your patience and cooperation as we work to improve infrastructure in the French Quarter.
