UGI Utilities, Inc. will start a natural gas main replacement project in Bethlehem on September 8, 2025. The system upgrades aim to enhance safety and reliability, while also providing an opportunity for some homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas. The project involves underground work on Second Street Ramp onto Brodhead Avenue and Brodhead Avenue between West Third Street and Broadway.
Construction is scheduled Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Drivers, residents, and business owners should anticipate road closures, detours, and parking restrictions. There will be some interruptions to natural gas service, requiring UGI to access properties to inspect and relight equipment. The installation of the new natural gas main is expected to be completed by the end of September, though the completion date may change due to weather and working conditions. Final paving and restoration will occur later.
UGI encourages anyone interested in converting to natural gas to contact the company. The project underscores UGI's commitment to modernizing infrastructure and expanding energy options. For more information about UGI Utilities, Inc., visit www.ugi.com.
