Several businesses and the ACES school have been evacuated after a construction crew working on the Skiff Street Bridge project hit a gas line on Skiff Street in Hamden.
The mayor Tweeted that the leak is contained and crews are working on repairs.
Police are asking drivers and pedestrians to avoid Skiff Street during repairs. The incident happened around 8:30 a.m. and the road is expected to be closed for several hours.
Skiff Street is closed for around two miles, between Whitney and Dixwell avenues, according to the mayor’s social media sites. He said the street will not have gas service until the repairs are done.
Officials said the ACES school is communicating with families of students.
"ACES in cooperation with Hamden Hall Country Day School, we’ve evacuated all the kids back to a rear property back on Skiff Street and they’ll be able to be picked up on the far side of the leak,” Hamden Fire Chief Gary Merwede said.
Southern Connecticut Gas Company responded and crews are trying to isolate the leak, officials said. There is no estimate on when the repairs will be done.
No injuries are reported.
Anyone who was planning to go through the area is urged to use an alternate route.
