​​Natural Gas Line Upgrades in Brainerd - Project Updates


​​​​​​

4/23/2025

Through the end of this week, the gas main crew will be working around the intersection of Oakridge Road and Beech Street. There will be flaggers in place to direct traffic around the work zone, and ensure residents have access to their homes.


The crew will move to north on Beech Street, headed toward Oak Street, after completing work at that intersection. Beech Street will be closed at its intersection with Oakridge Road once work moves there. Detours will be in place, and the crew will continue to guarantee residents’ access to their homes.

What will CenterPoint Energy do?

Beginning in the last week of March 2025, CenterPoint Energy will install a modern steel gas main under the west side of Beech Street and on portions of both Oakridge Road and Oakridge Road SE.


More information will be provided as we near the start date.
