Mariner East 2 Pipeline Construction Shuts Down re COVID-19

| | | | | |
As we told you last Friday, there was some confusion over whether or not construction of the Mariner East 2 (ME2) pipeline, which is nearing completion, is included under Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf's "stop work" order to prevent PA residents and workers from further spreading the COVID-19 coronavirus (see Is ME2 Pipe Construction Stopped Following Wolf COVID-19 Order?). Pipeline infrastructure and utilities are on the "life-sustaining" list, both in PA and as a directive from the federal government. However, "Utility Subsection Construction" was on the non-life-sustaining list--due to be temporarily shut down. ME2 construction continued after Wolf's Thursday order. The confusion has now cleared, and yes, ME2 construction is in the process of ceasing.
