Minneapolis - Victory Neighborhood - Project Updates

Final construction on this project was completed on Friday, Oct. 18. Restoration of lawns, sidewalks, streets, and boulevards will be carried out in the next few weeks.

Thank you for your patience as we replaced and modernized your pipes, making them more resistant to corrosion and leakage, and helping us continue to provide the safe, reliable service you count on that keeps you comfortable in your home.

Final services in the Victory Neighborhood are expected to conclude by the end of this week. The site will be cleaned up and temporarily restored. We anticipate our authorized restoration contractors to begin work in a few weeks.

Crews from Michels Corporation, a CenterPoint Energy authorized contractor, have been replacing natural gas lines in CenterPoint’s infrastructure in the Victory Neighborhood. One crew has replaced the natural gas mains along the following streets:

Xerxes Avenue N. from Osseo Road to Zenith Avenue N.; Washburn Avenue N. from Osseo Road to Victory Memorial Drive; Vincent Avenue N. from Osseo Road to Victory Memorial Drive; Upton Avenue N. from Osseo Road to Victory Memorial Drive; and Victory Memorial Drive from Vincent Avenue N. to Osseo Road

Another Michels Corporation crew has been moving inside meters outside by appointment and replacing and/or reconnecting service lines to the new mains. They have been working on the following streets: Vincent Avenue N. from Osseo Road to Victory Memorial Drive; Upton Avenue N. from Osseo Road to Victory Memorial Drive; and Victory Memorial Drive from Vincent Avenue N. to Osseo Road.

By the end of October, they anticipate finishing their work on these streets in addition to Xerxes Avenue N. from Osseo Road to Zenith Avenue N. and Washburn Avenue N. from Osseo Road to Victory Memorial Drive.

During this time, parking will be closed on both sides of the affected streets between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. The crews do not plan to close roads. Traffic will remain open.

For a few months beginning Monday, August 12, CenterPoint Energy’s authorized contractors will work in the Victory Neighborhood in Minneapolis to replace the natural gas mains, move inside meters outside by appointment, replace and/or reconnect service lines to the new main, and restore the areas affected by this work. There will be no assessment or cost associated with our work.
