What is the crews’ progress? 

From early April into July 2024, CenterPoint Energy’s natural gas main has been and will continue to be replaced along the BNSF railroad corridor from 85th Avenue NW to Osborne Road NE. CenterPoint Energy’s authorized contractors, Michels Corporation and Q3 Contracting, will replace the natural gas main and restore the affected areas respectively.

From Wednesday, June 4 to Thursday, June 13, the crew will install a new main within the right-of-way from 78th Avenue NE to 77th Avenue NE. From Thursday, June 13 to about Friday, June 28, they will replace the existing gas main about 540 feet south of 77th Avenue NE into the Johnson Printing & Packaging property. During this time, 77th Avenue NE will be closed between the railroad tracks and Beech Street NE. Traffic will be detoured to Osborne Road NE and East River Road. This closure will include the restoration of the affected areas.
