Heads up, East Harriet and King Field residents: CenterPoint Energy's infrastructure project is revving back into gear on March 31st. Michels Corporation's service crews will be back on the streets to continue the essential work of moving natural gas meters to the exterior and making service line upgrades. According to a bulletin on CenterPoint Energy's website, the majority of this construction will be clogging the parking lanes rather than the traffic itself.
For the folks who've grown accustomed to the hum of daily life uninterrupted by construction, the sight of cones and vests may be a tad jarring after the hiatus. Still, the company promises, "We do not anticipate traffic flow to be impacted at this time." A fair heads up: don’t be lulled into complacency by the seemingly low impact of the construction, because safety—as always—is a shared road.
CenterPoint uses these efforts to hammer home the point about safe and reliable service being a pipeline to life's moments—a commitment bound in steel and dirt. Meanwhile, as the gears of progress churn, local residents and commuters are urged by the energy company to put on a cloak of vigilance, especially when steering through these zones. "Slow down when traveling near construction zones to help keep yourself, your neighbors and our workforce safe," urges the notification from CenterPoint Energy.
