National Grid is making investments to reinforce the energy delivery system in your area to ensure customers receive safe and reliable service. This project will build a more reliable energy delivery system by reinforcing local underground infrastructure.

Yes. National Grid’s top priority is the safety of its customers, the general public, and its employees and contractors. The professional construction firms we work with also place safety as their top priority.

No. This work will be managed so that service interruption will not be an issue.

Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in the spring of 2023 and is expected to be completed by the summer of 2024. Before that, you will see possible test holes work to ensure we have current information of our infrastructure in the area.

Traffic is likely to be impacted in the area of our work sites during construction. Our team is working with local officials to develop a Traffic Management Plan that will ensure the safety of our work sites in order to minimize traffic changes to the greatest extent feasible. Flaggers will be on-site to direct traffic during construction hours. For your safety, when passing by the work sites please follow instructions from our flaggers.

No. As this project will reinforce the existing local distribution system, the vast majority of work will take place within established utility corridors.

While our contractors will make efforts to keep disturbance to a minimum, there will be noise associated with this project. Most of that noise will occur while excavation is underway as contractors use heavy equipment to trench ahead of the infrastructure work.
