UGI Utilities, Inc. is embarking on significant gas main replacement projects in Allentown, targeting key areas to bolster infrastructure reliability and safety. The initiative, spanning from May 2 to September, will systematically replace aging gas mains on East Elm Street, South Bradford Street, East Fairview Street, Lehigh Street, Keck Street, and West Tioga Street. This effort underscores UGI's dedication to ensuring the longevity and safety of its utility services.
Residents and businesses in the affected areas should prepare for possible inconveniences, including road closures, detours, and temporary interruptions in natural gas service. UGI has outlined that construction will primarily occur on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with some properties requiring equipment inspection and relighting post-interruption. The company has also highlighted the potential for local properties to transition to natural gas service as part of these upgrades.
The timeline for these projects may be subject to adjustments based on weather conditions and specific work environments, with final paving and restoration activities possibly extending beyond the initial construction phase.

These improvements are a testament to UGI Utilities' ongoing commitment to maintaining and enhancing the utility infrastructure for its customers in the region.
