UGI Utilities, Inc. will commence a comprehensive gas main replacement project in Emmaus, Pennsylvania, starting April 28, 2025. The infrastructure upgrade will impact Chestnut Street between North 9th Street and Sixth Street, with anticipated completion by early September.
The project represents a significant investment in local utility infrastructure, promising enhanced safety and service reliability for residents and businesses. Construction will occur Monday through Friday from 7 am to 5 pm, potentially causing temporary road closures, traffic delays, and parking restrictions.
Residents and businesses along the project route may benefit from new opportunities to convert to natural gas service. The infrastructure improvements will require UGI technicians to access properties for equipment inspection and relighting, ensuring seamless service transitions.
While weather and working conditions could influence the project's timeline, UGI remains committed to minimizing disruptions and maximizing community benefits. The gas main replacement is part of the utility's broader strategy to maintain and modernize its infrastructure network, serving over 760,000 customers across its service region.
