The Forest Hills Reliability Project will be completed in two phases, the installation of new infrastructure on Metropolitan Avenue between 70^th Road and Ascan Avenue and the installation of a gate station in a National Grid owned property on Metropolitan Avenue. Phase 1 will consist of excavation of the roadway, installation of new infrastructure, temporary restoration of the roadway, testing of the new infrastructure, and final restoration of the roadway. Phase 2 will involve the construction of a gate station entirely within a National Grid property.

We are making investments to upgrade the infrastructure system in your neighborhood to ensure customers receive safe and reliable service. This project will build a more reliable local energy system by reinforcing local infrastructure.

No. There will be no interruption to service.

Traffic will be impacted during construction in the work area. Our team is developing a Traffic Management Plan that will ensure the safety of the streets on which our work will take place and our work sites and mitigate traffic issues to the greatest extent feasible.

No. As this project will reinforce the existing local infrastructure system, most 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 infrastructure installation.
