Natural gas leak briefly closes Seward Highway near Potter Marsh

2015-10-09 03:26:51| Railroads - Topix.net

Anchorage firefighters say a gas line break in the Potter Marsh area briefly closed the Seward Highway Thursday afternoon, but the road was reopened without further incident. According to Anchorage Fire Department Chief Denis LeBlanc, dispatchers received a report of the break -- near Potter Valley Road's intersection with the Seward -- shortly after 1 p.m. Although the highway and nearby Alaska Railroad tracks were closed because gas from the leak was "venting straight up into high winds," LeBlanc said, the gas quickly dissipated once crews from natural gas utility Enstar shut down the line.
