SUFFOLK, Va. — Officials with Suffolk Fire & Rescue and the Suffolk Police Department responded to the scene of a gas leak Tuesday morning.
A statement from the city said the leak was reported at 8:38 a.m. on the 1700 block of Wilroy Road, after a construction crew accidentally hit a line there.
Around 9:30 a.m., all lanes of Wilroy Road along with the eastbound Route 58 off-ramp onto Wilroy Road were closed and traffic was being rerouted.
Around 11:30 a.m., the gas leak had been repaired by Columbia Natural Gas, but there was still repair work to do, so that section of Wilroy Road remained shut down.
At 4:47 p.m., a spokesperson for the City of Suffolk said Wilroy Road was back open.
