UGI Utilities, Inc. has begun a significant system upgrade project in Easton, focusing on gas main replacement to enhance service safety and reliability. The infrastructure improvement initiative will impact multiple streets and potentially offer local residents and businesses an opportunity to convert to natural gas.
The project, scheduled to continue through the end of August, will affect traffic and access on South 15th Street, Lehigh Street, and South Cherry Street. Construction will occur Monday through Friday between 7 am and 5 pm, with potential road closures, detours, and traffic disruptions anticipated during these hours.
Streets specifically impacted include South 15th Street between Elm Street and Lehigh Street, Lehigh Street between South 15th Street and South 12th Street, and South Cherry Street between Lehigh Street and Spruce Street. Residents and businesses along these routes should anticipate parking restrictions and potential temporary service interruptions.
UGI representatives noted that property access may be necessary to inspect and relight equipment during the infrastructure upgrade. The company emphasized that weather conditions and ongoing work progress could potentially influence the projected completion timeline.
This infrastructure investment represents UGI Utilities’ ongoing commitment to maintaining and modernizing its natural gas distribution network. By replacing aging gas mains, the utility aims to improve service reliability, enhance safety standards, and potentially provide more residents with access to natural gas service.
