UGI Utilities, Inc. has announced the resumption of a natural gas main replacement project in Lancaster City, including areas surrounding Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital, starting July 21, 2025. This initiative underscores UGI's dedication to ensuring safe and reliable service for its customers. The project, expected to conclude by the end of September, will facilitate the conversion of some homes and businesses along the route to natural gas, marking a significant step towards modernizing the local energy infrastructure.
The construction will affect traffic on 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 parking restrictions, with potential delays for drivers and disruptions for residents and business owners. UGI will also temporarily interrupt natural gas service in the area, necessitating property access for equipment inspection and relighting.
Completion of the project is contingent upon weather and working conditions, with final paving and restoration to follow the underground work. UGI encourages those interested in converting to natural gas to reach out, highlighting the project's dual focus on infrastructure improvement and customer service enhancement.
