UGI Utilities is set to begin the final paving phase of its project along Easton Road and Ringhoffer Road in Lower Saucon Township on Monday, September 14, 2026. This phase marks the completion of a significant infrastructure upgrade that will enhance the reliability and safety of natural gas service for residents in the area.
The project, which involved the installation and replacement of natural gas lines, is part of UGI's ongoing commitment to maintaining and modernizing its distribution network. The final paving will restore the roadways to their original condition, minimizing the long-term impact of construction on the community. For residents and commuters, this means a return to normal traffic patterns and smoother travel along these key routes.
