UGI Utilities is working during nighttime hours in Manheim, Lancaster County through Thursday, July 2, impacting traffic at Market Square. The natural gas main replacement project is part of UGI's commitment to provide safe and reliable service, according to a company announcement.
The work, which began earlier this week, involves replacing aging natural gas mains to ensure the continued safety and reliability of the gas distribution system. Residents and commuters in the area should expect lane closures and potential delays at the Market Square intersection during the overnight hours, typically from evening until early morning.
UGI Utilities, a natural gas and electric utility company serving more than 760,000 customers, emphasizes that the nighttime schedule is intended to minimize disruptions to daytime traffic and business operations. The company advises drivers to follow posted detours and signage, and to allow extra travel time through the affected area.

The project highlights UGI's ongoing investment in infrastructure upgrades across its service territory. By replacing older mains, the company aims to reduce the risk of leaks and service interruptions, ensuring consistent natural gas delivery to customers in Manheim and surrounding areas.
John Mason, a UGI spokesperson, could not be reached for additional comment by press time. However, the company's announcement indicates that crews will be working diligently to complete the work as quickly and safely as possible.
