Montane Drive Natural
Gas Project
Overview
We replaced approximately 550 feet of natural gas line and pressure tested 1,500 feet of existing natural gas line south of and adjacent to Montane Drive and east of Soda Creek Road in Idaho Springs, Colorado.
This maintenance project allows us to continue to provide safe, reliable natural gas service and enhances system resiliency during extreme weather.
Construction updates
Friday, Sept. 15, 2023
We have completed construction and final restoration of the Montane Drive Natural Gas Project.
It was our pleasure to work in your community and we thank you for your patience and cooperation.
How it affects you
During work, you may notice:
- Marking of utility lines and utility survey holes.
- Road and sidewalk closures.
- Traffic control with traffic flaggers.
- Temporary changes to access.
- Construction noise.
We install natural gas line by open trenching which involves digging a trench and placing the natural gas line in the trench.
We are committed to maintaining a safe working environment in your community. For your safety and the safety of our crews, remember these tips:
- Watch for construction crews and equipment.
- Do not enter construction areas.
- Obey signage and directions from crews.
- Reduce speeds while traveling.
- Observe parking restrictions.
- Remain flexible as work progresses and work areas change.
We’ll restore work areas to preconstruction conditions as weather allows. Work areas may be left temporarily restored after construction until we can complete final restoration.
Schedule
Construction began in July 2023 and was completed in September 2023.
