Project Description

CenterPoint Energy's Open House at Bloomin​​gton Public Works Training Room

​Personnel from CenterPoint Energy and the City of Bloomington will be holding an open house meeting to answer questions from the public regarding CenterPoint Energy’s project. The meeting will be held at the City of Bloomington's Public Works Training Room at 1800 W. Old Shakopee Road ​on Tuesday, April 24, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.​ This meeting will also discuss CenterPoint Energy​’​s Bloomington and Richfield Belt Line project, which will occur from April to October 2018 along Nicollet Avenue from 67th Street to Shakopee Road​​.

What is CenterPoint Energy doing for construction?

CenterPoint Energy will be replacing an existing natural gas pipeline in Bloomington. The project will begin in Spring 2018 and end in Fall 2018. Crews from Minnesota Limited, an authorized CenterPoint Energy contractor, will be installing natural gas mains along the following roads (see map below):

  • On E. 102nd Street from Nicollet Avenue to Portland Avenue S.
  • On Portland Avenue S. from E. 102nd Street to E. Old Shakopee Road
  • On E. Old Shakopee Road from Portland Avenue S. to Oakland Avenue S.

Frequent updates will be posted on the Project Status page below. Lane restrictions are anticipated in areas where active construction is occurring. The lane restrictions are necessary to keep both the public and construction personnel safe. 

Construction will happen in two phases:

  • Phase 1 is installing the natural gas distribution main.
  • Phase 2 is restoring the areas affected by construction--typically the utility easement, the street, and the customer's yard.​​​
