LOVES PARK, Ill. (WIFR) - One lane reopens Thursday on North 2nd Street after a gas leak shut down both lanes of traffic.
As of 5 p.m., traffic returned to the southbound lane of the street while work is underway in the northbound lane.
A portion of the road closed just after 3:30 p.m. while crews work to fix a natural gas main break in Loves Park on Thursday.
First responders urged motorists to avoid North 2nd Street between Landstrom Road/Lexington Boulevard and River Lane Road via social media:
Alternate routes should be used until the road is reopened. The cause of the gas main break is still under investigation.
