PECO Work

June 26, 2024 in BusinessInfrastructure

Gas Infrastructure Upgrades Taking Place on MacDade Boulevard

Work expected to be completed in August 2024

PECO will be replacing the existing natural gas equipment to enhance service in in the area of MacDade Blvd Between Church Land and West Cobbs Creek Parkway. This includes installing new underground pipe, which is more durable, enhances safety and improves service reliability.

  • Work is expected to begin 6/25/2024.
  • Work will be completed on Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
  • The project is expected to be completed in August 2024.
  • This work will be performed by InfraSource, a qualified PECO contractor.

For more information about this project and potential impact on Yeadon residents, please see PECO’s full statement on this project.

Crews will begin with the Gas Main installation first, duration being roughly 4 to 6 weeks, once main is gassed up, service crews will follow renewing services to buildings or homes.

Most of the work will be performed outdoors, but to safely connect your property to the new natural gas main, PECO or a PECO contractor will need to turn off natural gas service and then enter your property to relight your appliances after the connection.

This relocation work is necessary for the safety of our employees, contractors, customers, and communities and is mandated by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission.

Prior to work beginning, customers should mark any customer owned facilities present on the property. Examples of customer owned facilities include, but are not limited to, water services, sewer laterals, septic tanks, underground cable, drainage pipe, security lines, private lighting, dog fences, and sprinkler systems.

SEPTA Construction: Chester Avenue Detours

UPDATE:  SEPTA Construction will end on 8/11/23.

SEPTA will be renewing the track-work along Chester Avenue, serving the Route 13 Trolley Line, in the Spring of 2023.

The proposed dates for construction will be from Tuesday, May 30, 2023 through Sunday, July 30, 2023.  SEPTA is planning to close the road on or about 7:00 AM, Tuesday and reopen it on or about 7:00 AM, Sunday. SEPTA is planning to begin at Bullock Avenue and work through the intersection at Church Lane, completing this phase first and reopening the intersection as soon as we clear it, estimating one week for this phase; then we will progress east down Chester Avenue towards 65th Street.

A detour will be established to move traffic around the area. Additionally, a truck detour will also be established for Phase 1 of the project. This detour will use PennDOT State roads (MacDade Blvd. and Main Street.), through Darby Borough. If you or your colleagues wish to discuss project details, I invite you to contact me and we can arrange to meet with you and discuss.

Below is SEPTA’s estimated time frames for each of the detour phases:

To facilitate construction, Chester Avenue and Church Lane at the intersection will be detoured for the duration of the project.  Please find attached SEPTA’s traffic control plan and fact sheet for your review and approval.  An initial information sign will be set up two weeks prior to the closure of the road, on Monday, May 15, 2023.  If the closure dates should change, we will update you in a timely manner.
