Maintenance and upgrades are the name of the game as CenterPoint Energy continues its work along Minnetonka Boulevard to provide "safe and reliable natural gas service," according to a bulletin from the energy provider. Local residents should brace themselves for a little inconvenience starting Tuesday, June 10, as main installation work will shut down the west side of the Minnetonka Boulevard and Sussex Drive intersection. This disruption is expected to last for a week, during which time crews will be busy laying down new pipes.

For those wondering about detours and how deep this construction digs into their daily commute, CenterPoint is ensuring the public that information is just a click away. Interested parties can find details about the construction's progress and impact on the area by visiting CenterPoint Energy's update page. Starting the work on Tuesday, the intersection will be closed in a statement obtained by the energy company, so planning ahead might be a smart move.

CenterPoint Energy's commitment to infrastructure isn't without the usual plea for public patience. "Thank you for your patience and understanding as we replace our infrastructure! We value the privilege of having you as a customer," reads the company's update. Even with the construction's inconvenience, it seems that CenterPoint is banking on customer loyalty to see them through the upheaval.
