Columbia Gas of Ohio has provided the city with the following tentative work schedule for the week of June 4. On June 4, Columbia Gas is scheduled to begin work in the vicinity of Church Street and Clay Street installing a medium pressure natural gas line. Work will progress east towards Main Street. Once at Main Street, installation of the medium natural gas line will continue south on Main Street.
As previously announced, Columbia Gas of Ohio will be upgrading existing low-pressure gas lines to medium pressure lines within the downtown of Bowling Green. Work is scheduled to last through August, possibly in to September. As a result of this work, changes to traffic patterns will occur and on-street parking will be affected.
The total project area will encompass Main Street, roughly from Clay to the area of Ordway and Lehman. Certain side streets, alleys, and city parking lots will also be affected. Columbia Gas plans to work one to two blocks at a time, working Monday – Friday, 7 a.m. – 5:30 p.m., possibly working periodic Saturdays as well. Work will primarily occur within the curb lane of Main Street, with some crossings and installation on side streets and in alleys as well. At the end of each work day, steel plates or backfill will cover any open work areas.
