Michigan Ave. and Garfield Ave Pipeline Replacement Project

Project Area:

Project Work Schedule:

Construction work is to begin early November 2025. Construction on this project should last four-five months.

Preconstruction work is underway. During this phase, residents may notice markers and flags appearing in yards. These are to mark the locations of underground facilities. Columbia Gas kindly asks that residents leave these markers and flags in place until their work is complete.

Once the new gas mainline is installed and placed into service, crews will follow-up with service line replacements for individual homes. These take about 2-4 hours per property and include a brief service disconnection. Indoor meters will be relocated outside as well. The contractor's personnel will reach out to schedule an appointment with each property owner for the shutoff, relighting of appliances, and meter relocation (if necessary).

For restoration work, crews will temporarily restore all property to ensure safety and accessibility and then follow-up with the permanent grade restoration as the project nears completion.

Traffic will flow but motorists should expect some congestion in the work zones, but flaggers will be on-hand to get all motorists through safely. Further, crews will not block residents in their driveways.

Project Scope:

Columbia Gas and its contractor, is set to begin a pipeline replacement project in the City of Lorain. Crews are installing approximately 4,000 feet of Michagan Ave. and Cleveland Blvd.
