UGI Utilities has announced plans to begin significant system upgrades in Bethlehem starting July 9, 2025, as part of its ongoing commitment to ensuring safe and reliable service for its customers. This project includes the replacement of a gas main, which will affect several streets in the area, potentially offering some homes and businesses along the project route the chance to switch to natural gas.
The construction, scheduled from 7am to 5pm Monday through Friday, will impact West Graham Place between Brodhead Avenue and Vine Street, Vine Street between West Graham Place and West Morton Street, and Rink Street between Broadhead Avenue and Vine Street. Parking restrictions will be in place during construction hours, and interruptions to natural gas service are expected, necessitating UGI's access to properties for inspection and equipment relighting.
With an estimated completion of the underground work by early August, weather and working conditions may influence the timeline. Final paving and restoration activities are planned to follow the main construction phase. UGI Utilities, serving over 760,000 customers, emphasizes the importance of these upgrades for maintaining infrastructure integrity and meeting the growing demand for energy services.
