EL SEGUNDO HERALD February 23, 2017 Page 7 SoCalGas to Install New Pipeline in El Segundo, Manhattan Beach and Hawthorne ESPD to Hold Community Neighborhood Watch Meetings Herald in Antarctica Community Alert Southern California Gas Co.(SoCalGas) announced last week that work to install a new 2.8-mile natural gas transmission pipeline in the cities of El Segundo, Manhattan Beach and Hawthorne would begin in the week of February 20. The project will enhance the reliability of SoCalGas’ natural gas pipeline system that serves homes, businesses and critical facilities in the region. The excavation and pipeline installation work will begin in northwest downtown Manhattan Beach on Highland Avenue and extend along Highland to Rosecrans Avenue, then east along Rosecrans to the intersection of South Aviation Boulevard and 33rd Street in Hawthorne. SoCalGas crews have already installed 700 feet of the new pipeline from Highland Avenue to Alma Avenue and along Highland Avenue to about 39th Street and will not work in that area again. Installation of the remainder of the pipeline will be conducted in several locations, with one crew working during the day and a second crew at night. The project is expected to continue through May 29, weather and other factors permitting. While crews work on each section, commuters should expect temporary lane closures and parking restrictions. Lane reductions will be marked with traffic cones and be in effect during work hours, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Highland and Rosecrans west of Sepulveda Boulevard. Construction on Rosecrans, east of Sepulveda, and along South Aviation, will be carried out at night, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. weekdays. People passing by the work site may see excavation, equipment, vehicles and traffic control signage. Drivers should adhere to all traffic safety measures while driving past the construction zone. The nearby community may also hear some work-related noise and notice an occasional natural gas odor when final connections to the system are made. SoCalGas strives to provide continuous service of natural gas to its customers while the construction work continues. Customers should not expect any interruptions in their natural gas service. If that changes, affected customers who may experience a temporary interruption in their natural gas service will be notified by SoCalGas directly. Customers with questions or concerns about the construction work may call SoCalGas’ Customer Contact Center 24-hours a day, seven-days a week at 800-427-2200. • Community Briefs El Segundo residents Kathie and John Stabile recently returned from an unforgettable Antarctica trip.
