Residents and commuters near the intersection of Forest Lane and Barnes Drive experienced unexpected delays yesterday as Atmos Energy technicians addressed a gas leak. According to the Garland Police Department, the leak is situated close to the DART station east of Jupiter, resulting in partial road closures. Westbound and eastbound traffic on Forest Lane is currently narrowed down to one lane each way with limited access to Barnes Drive and the DART station.

As work continues at the scene, Atmos has been working around the clock, though a definitive timeline for the repair completion remains elusive. The Garland Police Department has been updating the public via social media on the progress. "Atmos has been working around the clock to locate the leak, but currently there is no timeline for the repairs to be complete", reported the Garland Police Department.

No evacuations have been ordered thus far, as the situation appears to be contained to causing disruptions primarily in traffic flow. Garland Police and Fire Departments are closely monitoring the situation and are prepared to act should the need for further safety measures arise. Residents and travelers in the area are advised to seek alternate routes where possible and remain informed about the ongoing situation through official channels.
