DUNWOODY, Ga. — A gas leak in Dunwoody has led to a portion of Chamblee Dunwoody Road to remain closed.
Initially, the presence of emergency crews in the area had prompted the road closed between Dunwoody Walk and Roberts Drive.
However, while the gas leak was repaired, the road closure was extended to Wynterhall Drive.
Police said the roadway was excavated to finish the gas leak repair, leading to the larger closure.
In terms of what happened, Atlanta Gas Light provided the following statement to Channel 2 Action News:
“Earlier today, Atlanta Gas Light crews responded to a report that a contractor, not affiliated with Atlanta Gas Light, damaged our gas line near 5270 Magnolia Walk Circle Atlanta, Georgia. The damage caused a temporary service disruption to approximately nine homes in the area. Atlanta Gas Light crews are onsite and working with emergency personnel to keep the area safe and make necessary repairs. At Atlanta Gas Light, safety is our number one value for both our employees and customers.”
At this time, no traffic is permitted in or out of the Magnolia Walk subdivision, though residents of the Fairfield subdivision are able to go in through the Roberts Drive side.
Residents of the Wynterhall subdivision can also get into their subdivision now, police said.
According to the fire department, no one was reported as injured due to the leak.
