What will CenterPoint Energy do?

Early this week, a crew from Michel’s Corporation, a CenterPoint Energy authorized contractor, began to install a natural gas main under the north sidewalk of 36^th Street W. between Pleasant Avenue S. and Nicollet Avenue S. Installation of this main is anticipated to wrap up by the week of Oct. 28 with service work following and restoration to come a few weeks after the completion of services.

Traffic impacts for this work include parking restrictions on the north and south sides of 36^th Street W. between Pleasant Avenue S. and Nicollet Avenue S, and closure of the north sidewalk along this section. On Oct. 16, the road will be closed to southbound traffic at the intersection of 36^th Street W. and Blaisdell Avenue S. Parking will also be restricted on the east side of Blaisdell Avenue S. Detour routes are available at Nicollet Avenue S. and 38^th Street W.

Beginning Oct. 17, construction crews will be moving on to install a natural gas main under the north sidewalk of 38^th Street W. between Pleasant Avenue S. and Pillsbury Avenue S. Parking on the north and south sides of the street as well as the north sidewalk along 38^th Street W within the construction zone will be closed until work is finished. We anticipate the natural gas main installation in this section to be complete early in the week of Oct. 21 with restoration following a few weeks later.

Construction of the gas main will move, in the week of Oct. 21, to the west sidewalk of Stevens Avenue S. between 37^th Street E. and 38^th Street E. Traffic control within this section of Stevens Avenue S. includes the closure of the west sidewalk with a temporary walking path on the east side as well as a restriction on parking along the west side of the street. Expect this work to wrap up by the week of Oct. 28 with service work to follow and restoration a few weeks after the completion of services.
