Centerpoint Energy Nears Completion Of Natural Gas Upgrade In Whittier, Promises Fourth Of July Break For Residents

Whittier Neighborhood residents can anticipate some relief from construction disruptions as CenterPoint Energy's upgrade project nears completion.

Their authorized contractor Michels Utility Services is expected to finish installing replacement natural gas lines by mid-July.

Residents have been navigating around fenced-off areas and restricted parking due to the ongoing maintenance work that is part of an infrastructure upgrade, according to CenterPoint Energy - Minnesota.

The current focus of the crews is on 2nd Avenue S., stretching from Franklin Avenue to 22nd Street E., along with work being done on 22nd Street E, as per CenterPoint Energy - Minnesota. However, the community can expect a reprieve from the construction chaos during the Fourth of July weekend, when the workers will take a break from Thursday, July 4 to Sunday, July 7, before resuming work on Monday, July 8. During the active construction, parking is restricted on both sides of the affected roads and one sidewalk is closed at a time.

For those Whittier residents with queries or concerns about the timeline or the nature of the construction activities, the communication channels remain open. CenterPoint Energy’s Communication Specialist can be reached at 612-321-5546 or through email at hannah.gullickson@centerpointenergy.com.
