Brainerd residents can expect to see maintenance crews at work this week as CenterPoint Energy pushes forward with its infrastructure modernization project. According to a construction update, the focus will remain around the intersection of Oakridge Road and Beech Street for the remainder of the week, where flaggers will be present to redirect traffic and provide local residents access to their homes.
Following the completion of the current phase, the crew will continue to press on northward, moving up Beech Street toward Oak Street. A road closure is expected at the intersection of Beech Street and Oakridge Road once the team advances its work there. Detours will be clearly marked to guide the public, ensuring that residents are still able to safely reach their homes during the construction period.
A visual clue to the affected areas can be found in the "Brainerd map - Updated.png" included in the bulletin from CenterPoint Energy. The company expressed its gratitude for the public's patience as crews work diligently to replace and upgrade the natural gas infrastructure, emphasizing the importance they place on providing reliable and safe service.
