UGI Utilities Announces System Upgrades in Milton Affecting Traffic and Gas Services

UGI Utilities has announced the commencement of system upgrades in Milton starting Monday, August 4th, as part of its ongoing commitment to ensuring safe and reliable service. This project, expected to conclude by the end of September, will involve gas main replacements along Broadway Street (SR-254) from Turbot Avenue to Queen Street, affecting several side streets and potentially delaying school buses and restricting wide load truck traffic during the construction period.

The upgrades not only aim to enhance the infrastructure but also present an opportunity for homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas. Construction will take place Monday through Friday, from 7am to 5pm, with parking restrictions on the impacted streets and possible interruptions to natural gas service. UGI will need access to properties to inspect and relight equipment during these interruptions.

Weather and working conditions may influence the project's completion timeline, with final paving and restoration scheduled after the underground work is finished. For those interested in converting to natural gas, UGI encourages contacting the company directly. More information about UGI Utilities, Inc. can be found at https://www.ugi.com.

This initiative underscores UGI's dedication to infrastructure improvement and customer service, while also highlighting the potential benefits of natural gas conversion for the Milton community. The project's impact on local traffic and the temporary inconvenience it may cause are balanced by the long-term advantages of upgraded utilities and the option for residents and businesses to switch to a more efficient energy source.
