UGI Announces Natural Gas Main Replacement Project on Manheim Pike

UGI Utilities, Inc. has announced a significant natural gas main replacement project scheduled to start on July 28, 2025, along Manheim Pike in Lancaster County. This initiative underscores UGI's dedication to ensuring the safety and reliability of its natural gas services. The project, expected to wrap up by mid-September, will not only upgrade the existing infrastructure but also provide an opportunity for some residences and businesses along the route to switch to natural gas.

The construction will affect Manheim Pike between Abraso Street and Dexter Avenue, as well as Dexter Avenue between Manheim Avenue and Manheim Pike. To minimize disruption, work will primarily occur from Monday to Friday, 6:00pm until 6:00am, with a shift to daytime hours (7:00am to 3:00pm) starting August 18. However, drivers, residents, and business owners should anticipate road closures, detours, traffic delays, and parking restrictions during these times. Additionally, temporary interruptions to natural gas service are expected, necessitating UGI's access to properties for equipment inspection and relighting.

Factors such as weather and working conditions may influence the project's timeline. Following the completion of underground work, final paving and restoration efforts will be scheduled separately. UGI has extended an invitation to those interested in converting to natural gas to reach out for more information.

This project represents a critical step in UGI's ongoing efforts to modernize its infrastructure and promote the use of natural gas, a cleaner energy source. By improving the reliability of natural gas services and facilitating conversions, UGI is not only enhancing its service offerings but also contributing to environmental sustainability.
