2023 Gas Main Replacement Project

2023 Gas Main Replacement Project

Project background

The purpose of this project is to replace certain aging infrastructure and to ensure safe and reliable distribution of natural gas to our customers. Work will involve open cut trenching to install a new gas line on Sir John A MacDonald Blvd. from Johnson to King St..

In order to minimize traffic impacts at this key location, trenchless (no-dig) technologies will be used to at road crossings where possible. Traffic updates will be communicated through Twitter @UtilitesKngstn closer to the time of construction.

Utilities Kingston will commence its annual gas main work beginning in June and continuing through into October. 

Services affected

  • Gas

Planning

Please contact the project manager at the information shown below for more information about the project and how it may a impact your residence or business.

Design and Construction

Work will involve open cut trenching to install replacement pipe along the required routes. Generally, the trench will be located at or near the edge of the asphalt or sidewalk. As we work along the street, several driveway crossings will be required, but businesses will have access to their parking lots at all times. All roads and driveways impacted due to construction will be repaired in accordance with City of Kingston roadway standards.

Emergency services, and garbage/recycling pickup schedules will not be impacted by this work and will operate normally during construction.

If you live within the construction area, your building may require a new service line. Service replacement will only be done where required and all work including restoration of the landscaping will be done at no cost to you. Service interruptions will also be required for these replacements and Utilities Kingston will be in touch with you if such an interruption is required. All interruptions will be extremely brief, typically less than thirty-minutes, and will be coordinated with you by Utilities Kingston staff.
