UGI Resumes Natural Gas Main Replacement Near Lancaster General Hospital

UGI Utilities, Inc. has announced the resumption of a natural gas main replacement project in Lancaster City, including areas around Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital, starting July 21, 2025. This initiative underscores UGI's dedication to ensuring safe and reliable service while providing an opportunity for certain homes and businesses along the project path to switch to natural gas. The project, set for completion by the end of September, will affect traffic on North Duke Street between East Clay Street and East Chestnut Street and East Frederick Street between North Christian Street and North Duke Street.

Construction activities are planned from Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm, potentially causing road closures, detours, and traffic delays. Parking restrictions on the affected streets during construction hours are expected, alongside intermittent natural gas service interruptions. UGI will need property access to inspect and relight equipment. The project's timeline may vary due to weather and working conditions, with final paving and restoration to follow the underground work completion.

For those considering a switch to natural gas, UGI has provided contact information. More details about UGI Utilities, Inc. can be found at https://www.ugi.com.
