Road Crew Strikes Gas Line On Pitney Road

A 1-inch gas line was struck Monday morning, causing a few road closures in a Parkville neighborhood.

Construction crews struck the line in the Kings Ridge neighborhood around 11 a.m. while digging as part of a road resurfacing project.

Police officers on the scene told Patch that an evacuation of the neighborhood was unlikely since the leak is in the street and not in a home. Still, officers visited a few residents to let them know about the situation.

As of 11:30 a.m. Pitney Road remained closed as did Morven Road near Arbor Station Way.
