Gas line break in East Austin

Comal Street between 5th and 7th streets remain closed after a gas line was hit. 

The Austin Police Department says a construction crew ruptured a main gas line. That line was then dragged and broke other feeder lines.  

There is still no time frame for the line to be fixed. As of 4:30 p.m. on Monday police did not know when streets would reopen. 

Residents at The Arnold on East 6th Street were temporarily evacuated as a precaution on Monday.
