National Grid to Replace Some Garden City Gas Mains

In an effort to improve gas service to residents in Garden City, National Grid will be installing new gas mains on various streets in the southeast section of the village.

Site investigations and installation of the main on Meadow Street (south of Boylston Road), Commander Avenue and Lindbergh Street has already begun. National Grid plans to install new gas mains on Meadow Street, Willow Street, Pine Street and Garden Street, all east of Boylston Roadm as well as Grove Street (from Meadow Street to Poplar Street), Commander Avenue and Lindbergh Street.

The new gas mains will be installed via directional drilling or by digging open trenches. Localized holes will be dug to transfer house services to the new main. Some sidewalks and grass areas will be disturbed but will be fully restored by National Grid.

Temporary road closures will occur to allow construction to be done. The road will be open for emergency vehicles. The project is expected to take approximately three months to complete.
