Gibbs Construction’s impact on New Orleans extends far beyond its skyline. We’ve also shaped nearly three miles of the city’s Mississippi River waterfront, building public spaces that bring people closer to the river and the city’s rich maritime heritage.

One of those projects is Mandeville Crossing, a pedestrian bridge that opened access to a new public park beyond the Mississippi River floodwall. Designed by Eskew Dumez Ripple, its 167-foot span of weathering steel, monumental staircase, two elevators, and 30,000 square feet of native landscaping transformed the site into an inviting connection between New Orleanians and their riverfront.

Getting the bridge into place required extraordinary precision and coordination. A 600-ton crane lifted the 38-ton structure 20 feet into the air during a tightly coordinated six-hour window, with railroad tracks closed and overhead high-voltage power lines deactivated.

From iconic riverfront parks to innovative pedestrian connections, Gibbs has helped New Orleans rediscover and enjoy its riverfront for generations.

Exciting things are happening at the corner of St. Aloysius and Cor Jesu Drive in Gentilly! ⚒ Yesterday we had the pleasure of participating in the official groundbreaking of the Brother Martin High School Farley Field redevelopment project. It was a wonderful full circle moment, with Gibbs founder and Cor Jesu alumnus Larry Gibbs and current CEO Lauren Gibbs in attendance.

Stay tuned as we transform this corner into a state-of-the-art athletic field and facility worthy of the young men who will train, compete, and grow at Brother Martin for generations to come.
