Con Edison has temporarily suspended the work that crews had started earlier this month on Main Street, Roosevelt Island. After the initial excavation revealed some unanticipated conditions, Con Edison will revise its work plan and schedule. We will conduct some minor excavation work on Main St on Thursday night August 27th to allow crews to perform additional inspections on Friday night, August 28th. Work will be suspended thereafter until the revised work plan and new schedule are developed.

We will continue to provide you with updates as this work continues, and once the daytime gas main work commences in the coming weeks. Schedule is subject to change. There will be no service disruptions to customers associated with this work. We apologize for any inconvenience. For more information, contact Manhattan Public Affairs at ManhattanPA@conEd.com.

What was the unanticipated conditions that Con Ed found requiring temporary suspension of the work?
The Con Edison spokesperson replied:
Some of the pipe configuration was different than what we expected.
