NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - At the intersection of Bourbon Street and Canal, a new steel barrier stands near the memorial for victims of the New Year’s Day terror attack. The added security measures throughout the French Quarter are a stark reminder of the recent violence while preparing the city for Super Bowl week and Mardi Gras.

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry said the state will establish checkpoints surrounding the French Quarter in New Orleans during Super Bowl week to enhance safety with the wounds of the deadly New Year's morning terrorist attack on Bourbon Street still fresh.

On Monday, crews installed the barriers on side streets in the quarter between St. Ann and Iberville. They are located one block off Bourbon in both directions.

Twenty-one victims of the New Orleans terror attack have filed a lawsuit against city officials and contractors this week, saying that they failed to protect Bourbon Street revelers from a “preventable” truck ramming incident.
