What is the crew’s progress?

58th Street W.

This week, a crew from Michels Corporation, a CenterPoint Energy authorized contractor, is removing the existing natural gas main and installing the new gas main on 58th Street W., working east from Xerxes Avenue S. to Upton Avenue S. In the week of Monday, July 8 or Monday, July 15, a crew from Q3 Contracting, a CenterPoint Energy authorized contractor, anticipates restoring 58th Street W. and opening it back to traffic from Washburn Avenue S. to Upton Avenue S.

From Xerxes Avenue S. to Washburn Avenue S., 58th Street W. will remain closed until late summer or fall 2024, when the crew anticipates installing all the footage of the natural gas steel main within this project’s limits. (Another closure will occur on 55th Street W. for about 100 feet from Upton Avenue S. to Upton Avenue S. closer to the project’s completion.) The closure will remain until the crew connects the new steel main to the existing intersecting mains. We appreciate your patience!

Upton Avenue S.

Later this week, Michels Corporation anticipates beginning their steel gas main installation on Upton Avenue S., working north from 58th Street W. to 57th Street W. The crew will determine approximately how long they anticipate closing Upton Avenue S. in this area.
