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, during which residents and business owners may encounter road closures, detours, and traffic delays. UGI has also indicated that there will be temporary interruptions to natural gas service, necessitating access to properties for equipment inspection and relighting. The company advises the community to prepare for these changes and appreciates their patience and cooperation during this period.
Moreover, this project presents an opportunity for some homes and businesses along the construction route to convert to natural gas, a cleaner and more efficient energy source. UGI encourages those interested in making the switch to reach out for more information. For further details on the project or the conversion process, visit www.ugi.com.
UGI Utilities, Inc., serving over 760,000 customers, remains committed to upgrading its infrastructure to meet the growing demands of its service areas. The completion of this project is subject to weather and working conditions, with final paving and restoration to follow the underground work. This upgrade is a critical step in UGI's ongoing efforts to provide safe, reliable, and efficient energy solutions to its customers.
