Where, when, and why is CenterPoint Energy performing construction?

From the week of October 7 to late fall 2019, CenterPoint Energy’s authorized contractor, Michels Corporation, will be replacing natural gas mains in North Mankato’s Pleasant View Drive Neighborhood. Construction will occur along the following streets:
 
  • 520th Street for approximately one mile north from County Road 41
  • Pleasant View Drive from County Road 41 to Restless Court
  • Restless Court from Pleasant View Drive to Lookout Drive
  • Lookout Drive from Restless Court to Lee Boulevard
  • Lee Boulevard from Lookout Drive to Tower Boulevard

What are the estimated traffic impacts?

  • Residents and local businesses will have access to their properties.

  • 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.

  • CenterPoint Energy’s authorized contractor, Q3 Contracting, will restore the areas affected by Michels Corporation’s construction—typically the boulevard, lawn, sidewalk and road.
