Minneapolis Neighborhoods Nearing Completion Of Gas Line Replacement Project, Road Reopenings In Sight

Residents of East Harriet and King Field neighborhoods in Minneapolis can expect to see continued activity as CenterPoint Energy moves forward with its gas line replacement project. According to CenterPoint Energy - Minnesota's recent updates, Michels Corporation, authorized by CenterPoint Energy, is working diligently to wrap up the replacement of natural gas mains, with an expected completion date of Wednesday, September 18.

Once the mains have been replaced, roads and parking previously closed off should be open by the following day, easing the temporary inconveniences faced by locals. The work is essential, and the crews are trained to not only get the job done but to also minimize disruption as much as possible, although some street-side parking restrictions and sidewalk closures will be temporarily inevitable.

Additionally, work on moving indoor meters outdoors on an appointment basis is nearly complete, with sections of Aldrich Avenue S. already finished. The energy provider's crews are currently finalizing their tasks on several other streets, including Dupont Avenue S., Fremont Avenue S., and East Lake Harriet Parkway. For residents looking ahead, the week commencing Monday, September 16, will see the focus shift to 43rd Street W., where parking will be restricted on both sides of the road for an anticipated week-long stretch. "One sidewalk will remain open at a time," as pointed out in a statement obtained by the bulletin from CenterPoint Energy.

As the crews continue to progress, they will determine which streets to tackle next, staying on course to upgrade the city's natural gas infrastructure. For those seeking further details or with specific questions, CenterPoint Energy advises reaching out directly to Communication Specialist Hannah Gullickson via phone at 612-321-5546 or by email at hannah.gullickson@centerpointenergy.com. The company's thanks go out to the community for their patience as they work to ensure a safer and more reliable supply of natural gas.
