New London Roads To Be Closed Due To Gas Line Work

Information via City of New London

NEW LONDON, CT — Beginning Monday, May 2, 2022, Eversource Gas will install new gas main lines on Pequot Avenue from Jerome Road to Rockbourne Lane. Michel's Utility Services will be performing the work on behalf of Eversource. Construction activities will occur Monday through Friday and occasionally on Saturdays, between 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Work will be weather-dependent, and construction activities are subject to change.

Work will include moving your natural gas meter outside, replacing your existing gas service line, and installing curb valves on the street. There may also be other upgrades required to ensure the natural gas distribution system's safe and most efficient operation.

This work will result in temporary interruptions to the natural gas service. Before any interruption, residents will be contacted in advance to plan accordingly. After any gas service interruption, Eversource representatives will turn residents' natural gas meters back on, relight natural gas appliances and perform a safety check.

After this initial phase, work will continue on Hillside Avenue, Jerome Road, Guthrie Place, Shirley Lane, West Guthrie Place, Worthington Road, Rockbourne Lane, Lower Boulevard from Hillside to Pequot, Ocean Avenue by Shirley Lane, and Parkway South.
