Residents of Bryn Mawr can expect to see crews actively updating the neighborhood's natural gas mains, as reported on August 26th by CenterPoint Energy. The ongoing upgrades, part of the company's commitment to infrastructure improvements, affect several avenues in the Minneapolis enclave. According to CenterPoint Energy's recent project update, installments have been completed on Thomas Avenue S. and part of Laurel Avenue W., with more roadwork on the docket for the coming days.
This week brings the project to the intersection of Laurel Avenue W. and Queen Avenue S., where flaggers are expected to actively assist with traffic control. Local drivers should heed "No parking" signs posted on the south side of Laurel Avenue W., stretching from Queen Avenue S. to Cedar Lake Road. The week's efforts will culminate in new gas mains beneath the east sidewalks of Russell and Queen Avenues S., where parking will be off-limits on the east sides of these streets. On Sheridan Avenue S., between Chestnut Avenue W. and Laurel Avenue W., the parking restrictions are anticipated to be lifted early in the week following the completion of main installations there.
With the project pushing forward, residents on Mount View Avenue will see their streetscape shift come Tuesday, September 3. The crew forecasted to begin the installation of the main under the north sidewalk, starting at Russell Avenue S. and aiming to reach Penn Avenue S. by week's end. This progressive scheduling is part of a broader effort to bolster the natural gas delivery systems within the neighborhood.
