The $8.9M construction contract was awarded to APC Construction, LLC of Algiers, La. Construction is expected to begin in late September and be completed by March 2022. The work consists of installing a combination of permanent floodwall and deployable floodwall system along the Mississippi River at the New Orleans District’s Headquarters.
