Residents of St. Louis Park should prepare for some disruptions as essential natural gas line replacements are coming soon to the area. According to a bulletin from CenterPoint Energy, work crews from Michels Corporation, an authorized contractor for CenterPoint Energy, are set to begin on Thursday, September 12, and continue through Friday, September 20. This infrastructure upgrade is part of a continuing effort to maintain reliable and safe natural gas service in the locality.
Digging into the specifics, the project involves replacing the natural gas main under Westwood Hills Curve which will end across Westwood Hills Drive. Another replacement will run on 23rd Street W., stretching from Frontage Road 169 to Gettysburg Avenue S. Parking will be notably impacted, with restrictions in place on all sides of both intersections of Westwood Hills Curve and Westwood Hills Drive, as well as the east side of the Curve, as per CenterPoint Energy. On 23rd Street, the north side and the southwestern corner at Gettysburg Avenue are also to be affected. This may cause residents and visitors to temporarily have to adjust their usual routes and parking habits.
For those seeking detailed information or having questions about the scheduled work, CenterPoint Energy has made resources available. "Check out our website for more details.
