UGI Utilities, Inc. is preparing to implement a significant gas main replacement project in Emmaus, targeting several key streets in the area. The infrastructure upgrade will span from January 14 to early May, covering streets including West Greenleaf, North 7th, West Berger, Franklin, North, and 6th Streets.
The project represents a critical infrastructure investment aimed at enhancing the safety and reliability of the local natural gas system. Construction will occur Monday through Friday between 7 am and 5 pm, with potential disruptions to local traffic and temporary road closures anticipated.
Residents and businesses along the project route can expect some temporary inconveniences, including restricted parking and potential brief interruptions to natural gas service. UGI will require property access to inspect and relight equipment during the upgrade process.
An added benefit of the project is the opportunity for some properties to convert to natural gas service. The infrastructure improvements create a potential pathway for expanded natural gas access in the Emmaus community.
Project timelines may be subject to adjustment based on weather conditions and specific working circumstances. Local residents are advised to anticipate potential traffic delays and plan accordingly during the construction period.
