UGI Utilities Announces Natural Gas Main Replacement Project in Bethlehem

UGI Utilities, Inc. has announced a significant natural gas main replacement project in Bethlehem, scheduled to commence on Monday, August 4. This initiative underscores UGI's dedication to ensuring the safety and reliability of its natural gas services. The project, expected to conclude by the end of October, will involve upgrades along Mechanic Street, between Hill Street and Steel Avenue, potentially offering some residents and businesses the chance to switch to natural gas.

The construction will take place from Monday to Friday, 7:00am to 5:00pm, likely causing road closures, detours, and traffic delays in the area. Parking restrictions on affected streets and temporary interruptions to natural gas service are also anticipated. UGI will need access to properties to inspect and relight equipment, ensuring safety and service continuity post-upgrade.

Factors such as weather and working conditions may influence the project's timeline. Following the completion of underground work, final paving and restoration activities are planned for a later date. UGI has extended an invitation to those interested in converting to natural gas, providing contact details for further inquiries.

As a utility company serving over 760,000 customers, UGI Utilities, Inc. continues to invest in infrastructure improvements to meet the growing demand for reliable energy services. More information about UGI and its services can be found at https://www.ugi.com.
