Mobile’s St. Louis Street rebuilding project: $16 million, set to begin after Mardi Gras 2025

David Nelson plans to host once more an annual Twelfth Night celebration in January to kick off Mobile’s Carnival season outside Braided River Brewing Co. on St. Louis Street.

Nelson, who opened the craft brewery in 2020, won’t have to schedule the party around a major street construction project quite yet. The start of a $16 million complete rebuild to the 17-block St. Louis Street is not expected to begin until after Mardi Gras Day, which is March 4, 2025.
