We do more than design roadways. We plan them, too.
Roadway widening, a dedicated bike lane, and traffic signal modifications are a few scope elements to David Drive Corridor Improvements, a project DE is designing for Jefferson Parish based on the recommendations that we provided to the RPC under a Stage 0 Feasibility Access Management Study for this corridor. From transportation planning and traffic engineering to design, DE has managed all phases for this corridor improvement that reaches from Veterans Boulevard to West Napoleon Avenue.

DE's Project is Setting for Mayor's Press Conference
DE is the design engineer for the St. Bernard Avenue Improvements (Filmore to Robert E. Lee) project that served as the backdrop for a press conference given late December by New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu and Cedric Grant, Executive Director of S&WB, that highlighted the City’s 2016 integrated infrastructure accomplishments.
The clip below is the press conference. Standing behind the Mayor and City officials are DE's Kurt Evans, Frank Liang, and Norman Bordes.
Mayor Mitch Landrieu and officials from the Sewerage & Water Board of New Orleans and the New Orleans Department of Public Works highlighted the City's 2016 integrated infrastructure accomplishments.
Our work on the St. Bernard Avenue project included design for major reconstruction of the roadway including installation of new subsurface utilities (water, sewer, and drainage), concrete roadway paving, sidewalks, driveways, and ADA compliant ramps. The newly restored travel lanes also include a 5’ wide dedicated bike lane each direction, pedestrian crosswalk striping, and an on-street parking lane. Modifications were made to the traffic signal system at Robert E. Lee to facilitate the detours required during construction.
DE administered construction administration and resident inspection during construction phase for this project that was completed the end of December 2016.
