Where, when, and why is CenterPoint Energy performing construction?
Beginning in mid-September and ending in Winter 2018, CenterPoint Energy’s authorized contractor, Michels Corporation, will be installing a natural gas main in Jordan along the following streets:

  • The shoulder of Highway 169 from 166th Street West to Highway 21 (Broadway Street N.)
  • Highway 21 from Highway 169 to 4th Street West
  • The southern side of 4th Street West from Syndicate Street to Highway 21
  • The east side of Mertens Street from 2nd Street West (Highway 282) to 4th Street West
  • The north side of 2nd Street West from Mertens Street to just west of Creek Lane

What are the estimated traffic impacts?

  • Residents and businesses will have access to their properties’ driveways.
  • Construction will occur in segments along the construction route, rather than all at once. Lane restrictions are anticipated in areas where active construction is occurring and are necessary to keep both the public and construction personnel safe.
  • Crews from Q3 Contracting, an authorized CenterPoint Energy contractor, will restore the areas affected by CenterPoint Energy’s construction—typically the utility easement, the street, and the customer’s yard.
