Emergency crews are checking businesses in the area of 13th Avenue and 45th Street South in Fargo after a gas main was hit Friday morning. The call about the gas leak came in around 10:15 a.m. Traffic in the already congested stretch of road is being re-routed. Police and fire crews are also not allowing pedestrians through the area until they can get the gas to stop leaking. Fire fighters are checking nearby businesses, including Olive Garden, Pier 1 Imports, Planet Fitness and others in a nearby strip mall. Because of the way the wind is blowing, some businesses are being evacuated, others are being told to shelter in place, depending on where they are located. Major reconstruction is happening on 13th Avenue South from the interstate to 45th Street.
