UGI Utilities, Inc. is set to resume a significant natural gas main replacement project in Lancaster City, starting July 21, 2025, with a focus on areas surrounding Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital. This initiative underscores UGI's dedication to ensuring the safety and reliability of its services, while also presenting an opportunity for certain homes and businesses along the project's path to switch to natural gas.
The construction, expected to conclude by the end of September, will primarily affect North Duke Street between East Clay Street and East Chestnut Street, and East Frederick Street between North Christian Street and North Duke Street. Scheduled from Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm, the project may lead to road closures, detours, and traffic delays, with parking restrictions on the impacted streets during construction hours. Additionally, interruptions to natural gas service are anticipated, necessitating UGI's access to properties for inspection and equipment relighting.
Completion of the project is subject to weather and working conditions, with final paving and restoration to follow the underground work. UGI has extended an invitation to those interested in converting to natural gas to reach out via their contact options. For more information, visit https://www.ugi.com.
