Residents in Minneapolis's Webber-Camden neighborhood can expect to see continued construction as CenterPoint Energy moves full steam ahead with its natural gas infrastructure upgrade. Details released by CenterPoint Energy and extracted from a recent project update highlight the replacement of natural gas lines by Michels Corporation, a contractor authorized by CenterPoint. The hustle and bustle of the area will witness some changes as crews install new mains and sewers along several streets into early October.
Significant progress has been made on Aldrich Avenue N. and Dowling Avenue N., where closures of parking and sidewalks on the sides of the road where construction is active. Traffic patterns will shift, but no full road closures are expected. Residents navigating these streets should prepare for minor disruptions as crews finalize their work expected to be completed in the first week of October.
Meanwhile, service line upgrades are also underway. Crews have been busy moving inside meters to outdoor locations and reconnecting homes to the new mains—with completion already reached on streets such as Humboldt Avenue N., Emerson Avenue N., Girard Avenue N., and Dupont Avenue N. Upcoming work will occur on Colfax Avenue N., Bryant Avenue N., Fremont Avenue N., and Humboldt Avenue N., stretching the crews' efforts and neighborhood patience into October.
