UGI Utilities, Inc. has commenced a significant gas main replacement project in Nazareth, targeting several key streets in the borough. The infrastructure upgrade, which began on February 10, is designed to improve service reliability and safety for local residents and businesses.
The project will impact multiple streets, including East Walnut Street, South Main Street, South Broad Street, East Prospect Street, South Cedar Street, and Park Street. Construction is scheduled Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with an anticipated completion by mid-June.
Residents and drivers in the affected areas should anticipate potential disruptions, including road closures, detours, and traffic delays during construction hours. Parking restrictions will be in effect on the impacted streets, and some properties may experience temporary interruptions in natural gas service.
The project presents an opportunity for homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas. UGI’s infrastructure improvements reflect the company’s ongoing commitment to maintaining and upgrading its utility infrastructure.
Weather and working conditions may influence the project’s timeline, potentially affecting the projected mid-June completion date. Local residents are advised to stay informed about the ongoing construction and potential service modifications.
As part of the project, UGI will need to access properties to inspect and relight equipment, ensuring proper functionality of the new gas main infrastructure.
UGI Utilities serves more than 760,000 customers, and this Nazareth project represents a continued investment in maintaining and enhancing utility infrastructure in the region.
