UGI Utilities, Inc. has announced the commencement of a natural gas main replacement project in Bethlehem, starting Monday, August 4. This initiative underscores UGI's dedication to ensuring the safety and reliability of its natural gas services. The project, expected to conclude by the end of October, will involve upgrades along Mechanic Street, between Hill Street and Steel Avenue, potentially affecting local traffic and parking.
Construction activities are planned from Monday to Friday, 7:00am to 5:00pm, likely causing road closures, detours, and traffic delays. Residents and business owners in the vicinity should anticipate restricted parking and temporary interruptions to natural gas service. UGI will need access to properties to inspect and relight equipment, ensuring safety post-service interruption.
This project not only aims to modernize the infrastructure but also presents an opportunity for eligible homes and businesses along the route to convert to natural gas. Interested parties are encouraged to reach out for more information. Weather and working conditions may influence the project's timeline, with final paving and restoration scheduled after the underground work is completed.
UGI Utilities, Inc., serving over 760,000 customers, continues to prioritize infrastructure improvements to meet the growing demands for natural gas and electric services. For further details on the project or services, visit www.ugi.com.
