Published Date: 4/9/2026
Notice
Summary
Texas Eastern Transmission is planning a $142 million project to dig up, lift, and replace parts of four natural gas pipelines in Pennsylvania to keep things safe during upcoming mining activities. This won’t change how much gas the pipelines can carry or their pressure, and no new land will be used. If you’re interested, you have until a set deadline to speak up or get involved before work starts in early 2028.
