UGI Utilities Launches Major Gas Main Replacement Project in Clarion

UGI Utilities, Inc. has announced a major system upgrade project in Clarion, Pennsylvania, focusing on critical gas main replacements that will enhance service reliability and infrastructure safety. The project, scheduled for completion by the end of May, will primarily affect Route 68 between Caa Lane and Dolby Street, as well as Water Run Road at its intersection with Route 68. Construction activities will occur Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with residents and businesses in these areas advised to anticipate significant impacts on local traffic patterns.

The infrastructure improvements will involve road closures, detours, and traffic delays during construction hours, along with parking restrictions on affected streets. Some temporary interruptions to natural gas service are expected as crews work to replace aging infrastructure with modern systems. This project represents a substantial investment in the community's utility infrastructure, designed to ensure long-term reliability and safety for all customers served by UGI Utilities in the Clarion area.

An important aspect of this modernization effort is the opportunity it presents for property owners along the project route. As UGI Utilities replaces the gas mains, property owners will have the chance to convert to natural gas service if they haven't already done so. This potential conversion represents both an infrastructure improvement and an energy choice enhancement for local residents and businesses. The company emphasizes that this project underscores their commitment to maintaining safe and reliable utility infrastructure throughout their service territory.

Project timelines may be adjusted based on weather conditions and specific working circumstances encountered during construction. Local residents and businesses are encouraged to plan accordingly and remain aware of potential disruptions throughout the construction period. The completion of this project will result in enhanced natural gas delivery systems that meet current safety standards and provide improved service reliability for the community.
