Bloomington residents can expect to see continued activity and temporary no-parking zones due to ongoing natural gas infrastructure upgrades by CenterPoint Energy. The work, which has been taking place this summer, involves the replacement of old natural gas lines to ensure the reliability and safety of gas services in the area.
Specifically, crews from the Michels Corporation, working as authorized contractors for CenterPoint Energy, have finished installing new natural gas mains in some neighborhoods east of Highway 35W. The current focus is on servicing lines and meters, with operations slated to begin on connecting the service lines to the new main along Aldrich Avenue S. and Bryant Avenue S., from W. 86th Street to W. 90th Street. According to CenterPoint Energy, Minnesota, this stage is expected to last around two weeks.
For citizens commuting through or residing in the affected areas, it will be essential to note that parking will be limited on both sides of the aforementioned streets, as per CenterPoint Energy, Minnesota. These restrictions will facilitate the safe and efficient progression of the gas line and meter overhaul, which is essential for maintaining Bloomington's urban infrastructure.
