UGI Utilities to Conduct Gas Main Replacement Project in Easton

UGI Utilities will commence a critical infrastructure upgrade project in Easton next week, targeting gas main replacements across several city streets. The project, scheduled from May 19 to the end of June, will involve comprehensive system improvements designed to enhance service safety and reliability.

Construction activities will focus on Spring Garden Street, North Second Street, and North Green Street, with work occurring Monday through Friday between 7 am and 5 pm. Residents and commuters should anticipate potential road closures, traffic disruptions, and parking restrictions during construction hours.

The project presents an additional opportunity for homeowners and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas service. The infrastructure upgrades will require temporary service interruptions, with UGI technicians needing property access to inspect and relight equipment.

Road segments directly impacted include Spring Garden Street between North Third Street and Larry Holmes Drive, North Second Street between Bushkill Street and Spring Garden Street, and North Green Street between Spring Garden Street and Bushkill Street.

Project completion timelines remain flexible, contingent upon weather conditions and specific working circumstances. Following underground work, final road paving and restoration will be conducted at a later date.

These infrastructure improvements represent a significant investment in Easton's utility infrastructure, potentially enhancing service reliability and providing expanded energy options for local property owners.
