A damaged, leaking gas line in Montgomery County, Md. prompted an evacuation and road closures on Tuesday.
As of 11:15 a.m., the leak was controlled but area roads remain closed.
The incident happened in a North Bethesda construction excavation area on Pike & Rose and Towne roads, according to Montgomery County Fire and Rescue spokesperson Pete Piringer.
The area was cordoned off to pedestrians and some nearby boulevards were evacuated as a precaution.
SkyTrak7 also flew over the area to get a birds-eye view.
Josiah Henson Parkway and Town road are also closed, Piringer.
No further details were immediately available.
