The project to remove and replace the bollards along about eight blocks of bustling Bourbon Street , from St. Ann Street to Canal Street , began Nov. 18 .

Temporary asphalt patches were installed in the spots where the steel columns were removed, city documents show.

Officials have not confirmed whether the intersection where the pickup sped through was actively under construction or if the replacement project created a vulnerability.
