What is the crew’s progress?

Crews from Michels Corporation, a CenterPoint Energy authorized contractor, have been continuing to replace natural gas lines in CenterPoint’s infrastructure in the Webber-Camden Neighborhood.

Natural gas main work

One crew has been installing mains. They anticipate finishing their work in the first week of October. The remaining two streets on their agenda are Aldrich Avenue N. between Dowling Avenue N. and 42nd Avenue N. and Dowling Avenue N. between Dupont Avenue N. and Lyndale Avenue N. They will install one main under the east sidewalk of Aldrich Avenue N. and under the south sidewalk of Dowling Avenue N.

During this time, they will close parking and the sidewalk on the side of the road where they’re working. The other side will remain open. Traffic will experience a lane shift but no full road closures.

Natural gas service line work

Several other crews are moving inside meters outside by appointment and replacing and/or reconnecting service lines to the new mains. They have finished their work along the following streets:

• Humboldt Avenue N. between Dowling Avenue N. and 42^nd Avenue N.
• Emerson Avenue N. between Dowling Avenue N. and 44^th Avenue N.
• Girard Avenue N. between Dowling Avenue N. and 44^th Avenue N.
• Dupont Avenue N. Dowling Avenue N. and 43^rd Avenue N.

They will work on the following streets in the next few weeks:

• Colfax Avenue N. between Dowling Avenue N. and 42^nd Avenue N.
• Bryant Avenue N. Dowling Avenue N. and 43^rd Avenue N.
• Fremont Avenue N. between Dowling Avenue N. and 39^th Avenue N. and between 41^st Avenue N. and 44^th Avenue N.
• Humboldt Avenue N. between 42^nd Avenue N. and 44^th Avenue N.

They anticipate that the remaining natural gas work will last into October. We appreciate your patience as we’re upgrading our infrastructure.
