​Natural gas line upgrades in Kenwood - Project updates

​​

5/27/2025

In the week of May 26, a crew will begin to install modern gas main under the south sidewalk of West 24th Street, and the east sidewalk of Russel Avenue South. We expect this work to take about 2 weeks.


Throughout the duration of main installation, a road closure will be present on West 24th Street and on Russell Avenue South. A detour will be in place and local access will be maintained. A detour will be present for the bike path as well. Street parking will be restricted and one sidewalk may be closed while the other remains open.


Main construction on Sheridan Avenue South was completed last week. A crew will arrive on site in the coming weeks to replace and connect service lines to the new main and move meters outside.

Natural gas construction updates

For a few months beginning this May, CenterPoint Energy will replace natural gas infrastructure in Kenwood. Updates regarding the utility crew's location, traffic impacts and other details will be posted here regularly.


Before construction begins, an authorized contractor will be in the area to locate sewer lines in relation to natural gas lines. This is an important safety measure CenterPoint is required to take. It is possible a technician performing this work will need to access your home to locate sewer lines. Ask to see CenterPoint Energy identification before letting anyone in your home.
