South Winton Road Gas Main Repairs

RG&E: Brighton South Winton Road
(Document text in-lined below)

Current Project Status:
Construction will be starting on a new Monroe County Department of Transportation project. The project is located on South Winton Rd in Brighton (between Newton Dr and Palmerston Rd). The Contractor for this project is Power & Construction Group (PCG). Construction work is scheduled to begin on or around April 18, 2022.

This project will involve:

• Replacing approximately 5,000 feet of outdated gas main with new 16” steel pipe.
• Installing the new gas main under the pavement alongside the existing gas main. Once constructed, the new gas main will be placed into service and the existing gas main will be decommissioned.
• Milling and resurfacing the roadway from Palmerston Rd. (north) and Newton Dr. (south)
• Updating the few customers who are directly connected to this section with updated plastic piping and metering equipment. The replacement downtime required to perform the service upgrade is minimal (just a few hours) 

Traffic will be maintained on-site during construction using lane closures, shoulder closures, and alternating one-way traffic (with flaggers). Access to driveways and side streets will be maintained, except when work is occurring directly in front of these access points. In these instances, there may be a brief delay until flaggers indicate that it is safe to cross the work zone. 

We recognize that this project may cause a slight inconvenience, but we ask for your patience for the protection of our workers. Barring any unforeseen delays, we expect the work to be completed this Fall.
