UGI Utilities, Inc. will begin a natural gas main replacement project along Greenfield Road in Lancaster County starting September 2, representing a significant infrastructure investment to improve service reliability and safety for the region. The project is part of the utility company's ongoing commitment to maintaining and upgrading critical energy infrastructure serving more than 760,000 customers throughout its service territory.
The underground work will focus on two specific areas: Greenfield Road between Independence Court and Route 30, and Hempstead Road near the Pitney Road Shopping Plaza Main Entrance. Construction activities are scheduled Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 5:00pm, with completion of the new natural gas main installation anticipated by the end of October, though weather and working conditions may affect this timeline.
Local residents, business owners, and commuters should prepare for potential disruptions including road closures, detours, and parking restrictions during the construction period. These temporary inconveniences are necessary to facilitate the safe installation of modern gas infrastructure that will enhance system reliability and safety standards. Final paving and restoration work will follow the main installation phase.
The project underscores the importance of maintaining and upgrading aging utility infrastructure to ensure continuous, safe energy delivery to communities. This infrastructure improvement initiative reflects the utility's proactive approach to system maintenance and its dedication to meeting the evolving energy needs of Lancaster County residents and businesses.
