Infrastructure upgrades continue to reshape the roads of St. Louis Park as crews from Michels Corporation, under the commission of CenterPoint Energy, diligently replace a natural gas steel main on Minnetonka Boulevard. The effort to reinforce the skeleton of our city's utility system has summoned an additional team to hasten the progress and mitigate the inevitable disruptions that come with such an undertaking, as per CenterPoint Energy.

Drivers navigating this stretch will encounter altered traffic patterns, with lanes shifting to the northerly side of the boulevard, stretching from Lynn Avenue S. to Ottawa Avenue S. Affected by the construction, southbound roads at Monterey Avenue S. and Natchez Avenue S. have been closed to facilitate the project. While the barricades at Monterey are set to dissolve by week's end, Natchez S. will remain impermeable until November 1, as reported by CenterPoint Energy.

For those beset by questions or concerns regarding the gas line replacements, there are avenues for communication. CenterPoint Energy opens a window into its operations on its website and offers a direct line via its Communication Specialist at 612-321-5546 or through email at [email protected].
