UGI Utilities, Inc. has initiated a significant infrastructure upgrade project targeting gas main replacements in Selinsgrove Borough and Penn Township. The comprehensive system improvement effort is designed to enhance service reliability and safety for local residents and businesses.
The project will impact multiple streets, including University Avenue, Fairview Drive, Hower Street, and 18th Street. Construction is scheduled Monday through Friday from 7 am to 5 pm, with expected completion by mid-May. Residents and commuters should anticipate potential road closures, detours, and traffic disruptions during this period.
Beyond infrastructure modernization, the project presents an opportunity for property owners along the route to convert to natural gas service. The upgrades will require temporary service interruptions, with UGI technicians needing property access to inspect and relight equipment.
While the precise timeline remains subject to weather and working conditions, the project represents a strategic investment in local energy infrastructure. By replacing aging gas mains, UGI aims to improve system performance, reduce potential service interruptions, and support community energy needs.
