NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Starting on Monday, June 15, both lanes of Filmore Avenue from Canal Boulevard to Argonne Boulevard will be temporarily closed due to construction, the City of New Orleans announced Friday.
The Department of Public Works contractor, CMG Pipelines, Inc., will use this time to excavate pits and prepare for sewer work on Filmore Avenue.
During this time, motorists are encouraged to use the following alternative travel routes when possible:

- Filmore Avenue & Memphis Street intersection
- Filmore Avenue & Marshal Foch Street intersection
