• Monday, July 22 through Thursday, July 25: East Burlington Street (Crosswicks Street to Hopkinson Street)
• Friday, July 26 through Monday, July 29: Myrtle Avenue (East Burlington Street to East Union Street)

Road closures will be taking place from 7AM to 5PM, and parking will be restricted as needed.

According to PSE&G, the replacement work is being done to "provide the continued safety and reliability of your gas service" and offers the following information about the project:

• To upgrade the gas lines, PSE&G digs trenches, primarily in road surfaces, and lays 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, workers avoid digging on properties. If workers 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 your home to connect the service line and gas meter to the new gas main. PSE&G contacts homeowners to arrange a date and time to do this work. On the day of your scheduled appointment, technicians will ask you a series of pandemic-related safety questions.
• During the re-connection, you can expect to be without gas service for about four hours. If your meter is inside, we will move it to the outside of your home or business. A PSE&G 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 PSE&G know when they contact you.
