UGI Utilities, Inc. has initiated a significant natural gas main replacement project in Easton, marking a pivotal step towards upgrading the local infrastructure to ensure safer and more reliable natural gas services. The project, which commenced on August 6, is set to primarily impact North 13th Street between Bushkill Drive and Wood Avenue, with construction activities scheduled from Monday to Friday, 7:00am to 5:00pm, until mid-October. Residents and businesses in the area should prepare for road closures, detours, and potential traffic delays, alongside parking restrictions and temporary natural gas service interruptions.
This initiative not only focuses on replacing aging pipelines but also offers an opportunity for properties along the construction route to transition to natural gas, a move that could lead to more efficient and cost-effective energy solutions. UGI Utilities emphasizes the importance of this project for the long-term reliability of natural gas services in Easton, as well as its role in providing access to cleaner energy options. For those interested in converting to natural gas, UGI encourages reaching out through their official channels.

While the underground work is anticipated to be completed by October, the final paving and restoration efforts will depend on weather conditions and other factors, with completion expected at a later date. This project represents a critical investment in Easton's energy infrastructure, promising not only immediate improvements in service reliability but also long-term environmental and safety benefits for the community.
