EASTON, Pa. – UGI Utilities, Inc. began a natural gas main replacement project Oct.1 in Easton.<\/p>\n
The system upgrades are part of UGI\u2019s commitment to provide safe and reliable service, according to a news release from UGI.<\/p>\n
The work is also an opportunity for some homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas.<\/p>\n
Officials say underground work will happen on the following streets:<\/p>\n
West Wilkes Barre Street between Packer Street and Iron Street<\/p>\n
Packer Street between Glendon Avenue and Hoyt Street<\/p>\n
McKeen Street between West Wilkes Barre Street and Hoyt Street<\/p>\n
Construction is scheduled Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Drivers, residents, and business owners may experience road closures, detours, and parking restrictions, according to the release.<\/p>\n
UGI says there will be some interruptions to natural gas service. This will require them to have access to properties to inspect and relight equipment.<\/p>\n
The installation of the new natural gas main is expected to be completed by the end of December, officials say.<\/p>\n
The completion date may change due to weather and working conditions. Final paving and restoration will occur later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EASTON, Pa. – UGI Utilities, Inc. began a natural gas main replacement project Oct.1 in Easton.
