PSE&G Gas System Upgrades to Parkway Ave

There will be gas construction road work on Parkway Ave. Weather permitting, the work is set to start Monday November 11th.

In an effort to provide the continued safety and reliability of local gas service, PSE&G will be replacing old gas pipes on Parkway Ave. with new piping.   

PSE&G technicians will need to coordinate access to homes on the street to connect the service line and gas meter to the new main pipeline. Technicians will contact all affected homeowners to arrange dates and times to do this work. They ask that homeowners please comply with this request so that their service appointments can be completed by PSE&G in a timely manner, which will lead to the overall completion of gas system upgrades in the area.

Project details

• To upgrade the gas lines, they dig trenches, primarily in road surfaces, and lay new pipes block-by-block to minimize disruptions. At the end of each workday, the trenches are filled in and protective plates are secured.
• When possible, they avoid digging on properties. If they have to dig on your property, PSE&G/Contractor will restore any disturbance after the service line is installed. Grass areas are repaired and seeded, and concrete or asphalt openings are patched until final restoration work is scheduled.
• After construction, a PSE&G technician will need access to homes to connect the service line and gas meter to the new gas main. They contact homeowners to arrange a date and time to do this work.
• During the reconnection, homeowners can expect to be without gas service for about four hours. If the meter is inside, they will move it to the outside of the home or business. Their technician will reconnect and relight all appliances. If you are not able to legally provide access to the property in question and require landlord approval, please let them know when they contact you.
• When work is finished, they repair roads with temporary pavement until the project is complete and the ground settles. This generally takes 45 to 90 days. Final restoration may take longer depending on the weather conditions, size of the project, time of year or at the request of the town. PSE&G will then have their contractors restore roads with permanent paving in accordance with town/county ordinances and paving requirements.

As with any construction project, you may experience an increase in traffic, loud noise, and presence of heavy equipment and machinery.
