New Orleans (La.) City Engineer Bridge records, 1918-1967 5 cu. ft.
Correspondence, reports, specifications, design notes, maps, plans, and
other materials relating to the design, construction, and maintenance of
bridges in the City of New Orleans. Also included are similar documents
relating to the beautification of the Bayou St. John waterway and other
"non-bridge" projects such as the Lake Pontchartrain bulkhead and the
U.S. Immigration Station wharf.
In addition to documenting the operations of the City Engineer's office
(and later the Department of Streets) relative to bridge projects, the
records also provide detail on intergovernmental relationships on several
levels: City-state; City-federal (relative to WPA and other federal work
projects as well as to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers); City-Sewerage
and Water Board; City-Orleans Levee Board; and City-Jefferson Parish.
The Bayou St. John Aquatic Park records include copies of
correspondence of Walter Parker relative to his activities on behalf of the
Bayou St. John Improvement Association. Among the correspondents
represented in this segment of the records are Cordell Hull and Harry
Hopkins.
Specific items of interest include a survey of boats operating in Bayou St.
John [in Bayou St. John-Esplanade Bridge correspondence, 1934-1935]
and a report on the status of the shipyards on Bayou St. John [in Bayou
St. John-Esplanade Bridge-New bridge correspondence, 1930-1936].
Transfer from the Department of Streets, 1988.
