CenterPoint Energy is committed to providing safe and reliable service to the communities we have the privilege to serve. Throughout the month of November, crews will be replacing three sections of our Mississippi natural gas transmission pipeline in Ridgeland and Madison to strengthen the resiliency of our state’s natural gas delivery system.
Construction Timeline
On November 4, crews will begin the construction process in the area near OB Curtiss Drive in Ridgeland. The week of November 11, construction near Lake Harbour Drive in Ridgeland will begin. During the week of November 18, construction near Highland Colony Parkway in Madison will begin. All construction activities will require excavation to install the replacement sections of pipeline. Construction work is scheduled to be completed at all three work sites the week of December 5. CenterPoint is committed to completing the project and restoration activities as safely as possible in a reasonable time frame. CenterPoint construction project timelines are estimates and subject to change based on weather delays and other construction factors. We are committed to updating the information in a timely manner.
This work will help support the continued delivery of safe and reliable natural gas service across Mississippi. Residents near these work sites can expect to see CenterPoint and contract crews working five days a week, Monday to Friday, mostly during daylight hours. If necessary, work might be conducted on weekends or during evening hours. Crews will be accessing the work area via CenterPoint easements and do not anticipate impacting traffic in the area.
Please note that all CenterPoint employees and contractors carry identification badges. If the badges are not visible, they will show them upon request.
Safety is our top core value, and we are keeping safety at the forefront during this project. If you smell natural gas, leave immediately on foot. Once you are safely away from the area, report the possible natural gas leak to 911 and to CenterPoint at 888-876-5786 or 800-371-5417.
