Minneapolis - Lind-Bohanon Neighborhood - Project Updates

CenterPoint Energy’s authorized contractors are making progress in CenterPoint Energy’s project in the Lind-Bohanon Neighborhood. While Michels Corporation finished replacing the natural gas lines within the project’s limits, Q3 Contracting will begin restoring the areas affected by Michels Corporation’s work.

Residents may see temporary backfill before the restoration crew comes. This may include dirt or gravel. On boulevards and lawns, Q3 Contracting will refill the areas with black dirt, grass seed, and netting made of wood fiber that degrades over about four months. Prior to mowing the restored area, remove any loose staples that secured the netting.

We thank you for your patience and wish you a great season!

In June, a crew from Michels Corporation, CenterPoint Energy’s authorized contractor, finished the service line and meter work on the following streets between 49th and 53rd Avenues N.: Queen, Penn, Oliver, Newton, Morgan, Logan, Knox, James, and Irving Avenues N.

This July and August, two other Michels Corporation crews are working throughout the rest of the neighborhood between Xerxes and Queen Avenues N. and between Irving Avenue N. and 4th Street N.

This week, a crew from Michels Corporation, CenterPoint Energy’s authorized contractor, will begin working on the natural gas service lines and meters under Colfax and Fremont Avenues N. For approximately two weeks, they will work on the east side of Colfax Avenue N. between 51st and 53rd Avenues N. Until approximately Friday, June 2, they will work on Fremont Avenue N. between 49th and 53rd Avenues N.

During this time, parking will be restricted on both sides of the roads in these areas. By the end of this week, the crew will finish the service line and meter work on Dupont and Aldrich Avenues N. from 49th to 53rd Avenues N.

For several months this 2023 construction season, CenterPoint Energy’s authorized contractors will work on select streets throughout the Lind-Bohanon Neighborhood in Minneapolis. The project’s area is between 49th and 53rd Avenues N. and between Xerxes Avenue N. and 4th Street N.

Equix Integrity will update our records on the locations of sewer lines in relation to natural gas lines. A natural gas contractor will move inside meters to the outside of homes and replace natural gas service lines as needed. Q3 Contracting will restore the areas affected by the gas contractor’s work. There will be no assessment or cost associated with our work.
