UGI Utilities will commence a significant gas main replacement project in Nazareth on April 7, targeting infrastructure improvements across several key streets in the municipality. The comprehensive upgrade will span approximately five months, with completion anticipated by late September.
The project will impact travel on East Prospect Street, South Cedar Street, East Park Street, South Broad Street, East Walnut Street, and South Main Street. Construction will occur Monday through Friday between 7 am and 5 pm, with potential road closures, detours, and traffic disruptions expected.
Local residents and businesses should anticipate potential service interruptions, as UGI technicians will need property access to inspect and relight gas equipment. Parking restrictions will be in effect on affected streets during construction hours.
Beyond infrastructure modernization, the project presents an opportunity for homeowners and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas service. This upgrade represents a strategic investment in municipal utility infrastructure, potentially improving service reliability and offering enhanced energy options for Nazareth residents.
Weather conditions and unforeseen working challenges may influence the project's timeline, with UGI acknowledging potential variations in completion dates. The comprehensive approach underscores the utility's commitment to maintaining safe and efficient gas distribution systems.
