UGI Utilities to Begin Natural Gas System Upgrades in Lancaster County Next Week

UGI Utilities, Inc. will initiate a natural gas main replacement project along Greenfield Road in Lancaster County beginning September 2, marking another phase in the utility company's ongoing infrastructure improvement program. The system upgrades represent UGI's continued commitment to maintaining safe and reliable service delivery to its customer base.

The underground construction work will focus on two specific areas: Greenfield Road between Independence Court and Route 30, and Hempstead Road near the Pitney Road Shopping Plaza Main Entrance. Scheduled operations will run 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 conditions and working circumstances may affect this timeline.

Local drivers, residents, and business owners should prepare for potential disruptions including road closures, detours, and parking restrictions during the construction period. These temporary inconveniences are necessary to facilitate the essential infrastructure improvements that will enhance the long-term reliability of natural gas service in the region. Final paving and restoration work will follow the main installation phase.

As a natural gas and electric utility serving more than 760,000 customers, UGI Utilities maintains an ongoing infrastructure modernization program.
