The Borough of Palmyra will begin to see several gas main replacements over the next five-to-six months.
The Borough of Palmyra will see several changes to nearly three miles of gas mains over the next five to six months. PSE&G notified Borough officials on June 14 that the project to replace these gas mains will begin in July 10.
Coming on the heels of extensive water main replacement projects undertaken by NJAW, this project could have a significant impact on Palmyra’s roadways; affecting commuters, businesses and homeowners. The entire length of Broad Street is included in the project scope.
Other streets in our community will also be impacted including Cinnaminson Avenue, Horace, Parry and several others.
Horace Avenue in particular will be hard-hit as NJAW only recently completed a major project there that proved very disruptive to the neighborhood.
New curbs and asphalt paving were scheduled to be installed on Horace but that project will now have to be placed on-hold until PSE&G completes their gas main replacement project.
The Borough recognizes the impact to Palmyra residents but unfortunately there is not much they can do until the process is complete. Palmyra will however, make every effort to ensure that both NJAW and PSE&G repair the town’s streets and curbs and leave them in much better condition than they found them. The Borough also intends to repair and/or replace curbing and asphalt in these areas that NJAW and PSE&G does not.
Affected residents will receive letters and door hangers from PE&G in advance of their work. To see a map of the areas receiving new gas mains please check http://boroughofpalmyra.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Palmyra-work.pdf.
