The utility announced Thursday that work on replacing over 2 miles of gas mains will start this month, and continue through August. The work, which will take place in an area from 6th to 10th Streets, from Jersey to near Broadway, is part of a multi-year plan to upgrade Ameren's gas and electric infrastructure in Illinois. Ameren Supervising Engineer Quinton Snyder says they're doing the work now, to aid future beautification efforts in the District.
