Con Edison Gas Main Work to Begin In Croton

CROTON-ON-HUDSON, NY — Con Edison has advised village officials that their contractor will finally start two gas main installation projects — one on Grand Street, the other on Benedict Boulevard — to upgrade the gas distribution system and replace old piping.

The work will be done in the daytime, and work hours will be slightly staggered: from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Benedict and from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Grand.

For either, expect delays, occasional road closures and some detours, and consider alternate routes.

The Grand Street project could take six months, while the Benedict project should be done by the middle of April.
