UGI Utilities, Inc. is preparing to conduct an extensive gas main replacement project in Easton, spanning several key streets and potentially transforming local energy infrastructure. Starting April 23, 2025, the construction will continue through mid-September, targeting critical urban thoroughfares including Northampton, North Union, North 6th, Church, and North 5th Streets.
The project, scheduled for weekdays between 7 am and 5 pm, will involve significant road work that may cause traffic disruptions and temporary parking restrictions. Residents and businesses along the project route should anticipate potential service interruptions and construction-related challenges.
Beyond infrastructure maintenance, the project presents a strategic opportunity for local property owners to transition to natural gas service. The upgrades will enable UGI to modernize its gas distribution network while simultaneously offering expanded energy options to the community.
Construction will require property access for equipment inspection and service relighting. While the projected completion is mid-September, UGI acknowledges that weather and working conditions could potentially alter the timeline.
The gas main replacement represents more than routine maintenance; it signals UGI's commitment to infrastructure reliability, safety, and community energy development. By upgrading aging infrastructure, the utility company enhances service quality and creates pathways for energy infrastructure modernization.
