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 forms 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. This initiative highlights the importance of maintaining aging utility infrastructure to ensure continuous, safe energy delivery to communities.
The underground work will concentrate 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. Final paving and restoration work will follow the main installation phase.
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. The project reflects the utility's proactive approach to system maintenance and its dedication to meeting the evolving energy needs of Lancaster County residents and businesses.
This infrastructure improvement initiative demonstrates how utility companies must continuously invest in their systems to prevent service interruptions and ensure public safety. The replacement of aging gas mains reduces the risk of leaks and improves overall system efficiency, benefiting both residential and commercial customers who depend on reliable energy sources.
