S. Fourth Street reopens after being closed for ruptured gas line

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A MetroSafe supervisor says South Fourth Street has reopened in downtown Louisville after being closed due to a ruptured gas line.

A construction crew ruptured a gas line in downtown Louisville's Central Business District on Tuesday morning.

South Fourth Street was closed between West Chestnut Street and Broadway while crews made repairs.

No injuries were reported, and there were no evacuations.

According to a MetroSafe supervisor, it happened around 11:30 a.m. on South Fourth Street, just south of West Chestnut Street. That's where construction workers breached a four-inch natural gas line, prompting a gas leak.

Representatives of LG&E and the Louisville Fire & EMS turned off the gas to make the necessary repairs.
