UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin system upgrades in Carlisle on Monday, November 10th, marking the start of a significant infrastructure improvement project that will extend into Spring 2026. The gas main replacement initiative represents UGI's ongoing commitment to providing safe and reliable service to the Carlisle community while creating opportunities for homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas service.
The phased construction approach will impact multiple roadways throughout Carlisle, with work occurring on C Street between Cherry Street and North College Street, Franklin Street between H Street and C Street, D Street between Redwood Drive and Oak Street, E Street between Franklin Street and North College Street, F Street between Redwood Drive and Ash Avenue, and G Street between Franklin Street and Ash Avenue. Construction operations are scheduled Monday through Friday between 7:00 AM and 3:30 PM, with planned pauses during the weeks of December 22 and December 29 before resuming on January 5.
Residents and business owners should anticipate lane restrictions, parking limitations, and temporary interruptions to natural gas service during construction hours. These service interruptions will require UGI technicians to access properties for equipment inspection and relighting procedures. The project timeline remains subject to weather conditions and working environment factors, with final paving and restoration work scheduled after completion of all underground infrastructure improvements.
This infrastructure enhancement project carries significant implications for Carlisle's energy landscape. The system upgrades not only modernize aging infrastructure but also expand natural gas accessibility, potentially lowering energy costs for residents and businesses that choose to convert. For the broader energy sector, such projects demonstrate the ongoing investment in natural gas distribution networks, reinforcing the fuel's role in regional energy portfolios.

The systematic approach to construction scheduling aims to minimize community disruption while maximizing the benefits of upgraded energy delivery systems.
