What is the crew’s progress?

CenterPoint Energy’s authorized contractors Michels Corporation and Q3 Contracting have been working in the Armatage Neighborhood to upgrade CenterPoint Energy’s natural gas infrastructure and restore the areas affected by this work.

Crews have installed the natural gas steel main on 58th Street W. from Xerxes Avenue S. to Upton Avenue S. and on Upton Avenue S. from 58th Street W. to 5712 Upton Avenue S. Into late August or early September, the Michels crews anticipates installing the rest of the footage of the steel main on Upton Avenue S. from 5712 Upton Avenue S. to 55th Street W.

This week, 58th Street W. is being prepared for restoration to happen in mid-July from Washburn Avenue S. to Upton Avenue S. Into late August or early September, the crew anticipates that 58th Street W. will remain closed from Xerxes Avenue S. to Washburn Avenue S. In August, they will have connected the new main to the existing intersecting main. In September, they plan to restore the road back to traffic.

CenterPoint Energy’s project should be complete in September. By then, Q3 Contracting and the City of Minneapolis will have paved the affected roads and reopened them back to traffic. If Michels has disturbed anything further, Q3 Contracting will restore it.
