UGI Utilities, Inc. has initiated a natural gas main replacement project in Bethlehem, marking a significant step towards upgrading the local infrastructure to ensure safer and more reliable natural gas services. The project, set to start on Monday, August 4, and expected to wrap up by the end of October, focuses on Mechanic Street, between Hill Street and Steel Avenue. This upgrade is likely to impact local traffic and parking, with construction activities scheduled from 7:00am to 5:00pm, Monday through Friday. Residents and business owners in the area should prepare for possible temporary interruptions to natural gas service, as UGI may need access to properties for inspection and equipment relighting.
The timeline for the project could be affected by weather conditions, with final paving and restoration planned after the completion of underground work. A notable aspect of this initiative is the chance it presents for some homes and businesses along the construction route to switch to natural gas. UGI is encouraging those interested in converting to natural gas to seek more information. For additional details about the project or the conversion process, visit www.ugi.com.
