A gas leak on North White Street has prompted emergency responses and traffic diversions in the area. The situation unfolded when a road resurfacing crew managed to rupture a gas line along the 700 block, near East Perry Avenue. The leak has led to a closure of the street as crews work to address the issue.
Motorists are currently, and unwelcome so, being advised to steer clear of the area, according to officials from Wake Forest. With North White Street now blocked, the search for alternate routes is becoming the unexpected quest for those who usually pass through. No evacuation orders have been made at this time, but officials are keeping a close watch on safety conditions in the vicinity.
Enbridge Gas crews are on the scene and are working to seal off the leak. Nonetheless, there's no set timeline for when normalcy will return and the road will be reopened for public access. Residents and motorists are urged to remain patient and alert for further instructions.
The extent of the leak and its impact are still under evaluation, and officials are committed to quickly and safely resolving the situation. Additional details on the incident are set to be revealed as they to become available.
