CHESAPEAKE, Va. — Tuesday afternoon, about a block of Gilmerton Road in Chesapeake had to be closed to traffic because of an oil spill.
Dispatchers got a call about the spill shortly before 2 p.m. and sent police and fire units to the scene. A Chesapeake Fire spokesperson said a clean-up contractor was also sent there.
The road was closed between Oklahoma Drive and Canal Drive. One of Canal Drive's southbound lanes was also shut down to Maywood Drive.
Just before 5:30 p.m., officials tweeted that the road had reopened. There's still no word yet on what could have caused the spill.
