West Avenue between Greenwood and Florence Avenues will be closed to all through traffic, beginning today, Monday January 14th and last until 9:00 AM tomorrow, Tuesday January 15th. This closure will allow for PECO to install a gas main for Beaver Hill’s West Building. During this time, businesses will have access to their parking structures.
The Borough has been notified that the Beaver Hill West Building experienced a major exterior gas leak on Saturday night, this required securing the gas to the West building. The residents of those 104 condos have been without heat since that action was taken on Saturday afternoon. PECO, Montgomery County, Borough Emergency Management and Borough Administration have assisted and made themselves available to the Beaver Hill Condo Association who is managing this serious situation. It is hoped that the new gas main will be installed and heat returned to those building occupants expeditiously.
Please make plans to take an alternate route during the time listed to avoid further disruption to your travels. Thank you for your patience and understanding while this utility work takes place.
If there is an emergency, please call 911
