UGI Utilities Announces Natural Gas Infrastructure Upgrade in Stroudsburg

UGI Utilities, Inc. will commence a natural gas main replacement project in Stroudsburg on September 2, 2025, marking a significant infrastructure investment that could expand natural gas access in the community. The system upgrades represent UGI's ongoing commitment to delivering safe and reliable energy service while creating potential conversion opportunities for properties along the project route.

The underground work will focus on Scott Street between North Ninth Street and Bell Terrace, as well as Bell Terrace itself, with construction scheduled weekdays from 7:00am to 5:00pm. This infrastructure improvement project may cause temporary disruptions including road closures, detours, and parking restrictions for drivers, residents, and business owners in the affected areas.

The project's completion timeline targets the end of September, though weather conditions and working circumstances could alter this schedule. Final paving and restoration activities will follow the main installation work. During construction, some natural gas service interruptions will occur, requiring UGI technicians to access properties for equipment inspection and relighting procedures.

This infrastructure enhancement offers economic and environmental implications for the Stroudsburg community. Property owners along the construction route now have the opportunity to convert to natural gas, potentially reducing energy costs and environmental impact. The project aligns with broader energy infrastructure modernization trends across Pennsylvania.

UGI Utilities, Inc. serves more than 760,000 customers as a natural gas and electric utility provider.

The Stroudsburg project demonstrates how utility infrastructure investments can simultaneously improve system reliability while creating new energy options for communities.
