What will CenterPoint Energy’s project entail? From early June to fall 2020, CenterPoint Energy’s authorized contractor, Michels Corporation, will replace CenterPoint Energy’s natural gas main in Burnsville between Highway 13 and CenterPoint Energy’s Dakota Station. Work will take place in the State, Dakota County, and the City of Burnsville right-of-ways as well as CenterPoint Energy easements across the Burnsville High School property and between Riverwood Drive and Cliff Road (County Road 32).
What are the anticipated traffic impacts? Businesses along the route will have coordinated closures of any parking lots that are built upon CenterPoint Energy’s pipeline easements. Road closures of Riverwood Drive and Riverwood Circle will be required for the replacement of the gas main. The crews’ inspectors will work with the business owners to coordinate timing. These closures are necessary to keep both the public and the construction personnel safe.
Crews from CenterPoint Energy’s authorized contractor, Q3 Contracting, will restore the areas affected by Michels Corporation’s work—typically the boulevard, sidewalks, parking lots, and lawns.
