The New Orleans Regional Transit Authority (RTA) continues rail infrastructure improvement along the St. Charles Streetcar Line. The Carrollton Double Crossover Project and the Harmony Circle Track Replacement Project will improve accessibility, address critical infrastructure needs, and support the long-term reliability of one of New Orleans' most iconic transit corridors.  

RTA is operating a temporary bus bridges while maintaining active streetcar service on the S. Carrollton section of the line.
