Installation of natural gas main along Main Street is complete north of 25th Avenue. Traffic control will remain in place for service and restoration work to be completed.


Main installation is ongoing on Fern Street South and Central Avenue Southwest. We expect gas main construction to be complete by the end of next week, with service work and restoration to continue.

This week and next, the utility crews will continue working along Main Street South on both the east and west sides of the road. For the time being, the crew will be seen moving up and down the length of the work zone on Main Street South.


Construction will begin on Fern Street South next week. Equipment is staged in that area at this time.


Both directions of traffic on Main Street South are reduced to a single lane of traffic. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes.

Natural gas construction updates

For a few months beginning mid-April, 2025, CenterPoint Energy will replace natural gas infrastructure in Cambridge. 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.
