Construction on the Mariner East 2 pipeline was temporarily halted last Friday as Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf banned all “non-life-sustaining” business, including pipeline construction the night before, according to The Phoenix.

The ruling does not stall operations that are already in use. It only stops those under construction.

Workers from Sunoco and parent company Energy Transfer Partners were working on the project as late as Friday morning, but then quit.

Upon its completion, the Mariner East 2 will move liquid gases from the state’s Marcellus Shale regions to a facility in Marcus Hook, where they will be stored and eventually shipped, mostly to overseas markets.
