Paving in Old Jefferson
Asphalt paving in Jefferson, known locally as Old Jefferson, covers older homes and busy commercial lots along Jefferson Highway. Jefferson is a census-designated place in Jefferson Parish at about 3 feet of elevation, bordered by Metairie, Elmwood, the Mississippi River and New Orleans. Its population peaked early, at 19,353 in 1960, and was 10,633 in 2020.
An early suburb
The four-lane Jefferson Highway (US 90) opened in 1928 and runs through the center of the community about 6 miles to downtown New Orleans. Much of Old Jefferson's housing predates the bigger postwar boom in Metairie, so driveways here are often narrow, short and old.
Busy commercial lots
The Ochsner Medical Center complex is in Jefferson, and the medical offices, businesses and restaurants along Jefferson Highway create a lot of parking demand. Lots that carry constant traffic need regular repair, sealing and restriping.
Separated by a canal
The northern edge is separated from Metairie by a drainage canal, railroad tracks and the Earhart Expressway, with Causeway Boulevard and Central Avenue as the only public road crossings. That drainage canal is a reminder of how much work goes into keeping this low ground dry.
Parish permits
Jefferson is unincorporated, so Jefferson Parish handles aprons on parish right-of-way, and Jefferson Highway work in the state right-of-way goes through Louisiana DOTD.
Costs
HomeGuide lists small driveway repairs at $100 to $400 and full new driveways at about $5 to $12 or more per square foot. For short, narrow drives in Old Jefferson, a rebuild is usually a modest job.
