UGI Utilities to Upgrade Gas Mains in Nazareth, Impacting Local Transportation and Services

UGI Utilities, Inc. is set to launch a significant infrastructure improvement project in Nazareth, beginning April 7, with system upgrades targeting gas main replacements across several key streets in the community.

The project, scheduled to continue through late September, will impact transportation and utility services in targeted areas of the town. Construction will occur Monday through Friday from 7 am to 5 pm, with potential road closures, detours, and traffic disruptions expected along East Prospect Street, South Cedar Street, East Park Street, South Broad Street, East Walnut Street, and South Main Street.

The infrastructure upgrade represents a critical investment in local utility infrastructure, designed to enhance safety and service reliability for Nazareth residents. Homeowners and businesses along the project route may also benefit from the opportunity to convert to natural gas service during the construction period.

Residents and drivers should anticipate potential service interruptions and traffic modifications. UGI will require property access to inspect and relight equipment, potentially causing temporary disruptions to natural gas service. Parking restrictions will be in effect on impacted streets during construction hours.

Weather and site conditions may influence the project's timeline, with completion currently projected for late September. The comprehensive upgrade underscores UGI's commitment to maintaining and modernizing critical utility infrastructure to ensure safe and reliable service for its customers.
