Another Highway In Atlanta Shut Down After Gas Leak Buckles Road

(CNN) — Atlanta’s running out of highways.

The metropolitan area is served by three major interstates. Last month, a five-lane section of one collapsed during rush hour and took part of that highway out of commission.

Monday afternoon, things just got worse. Way worse.

A section of another highway buckled due to an underground gas leak, and now a portion of that freeway is shut down too.

Atlantans, ever-reliant on their cars for even the shortest of errands, are now down to one major undamaged highway — and one major headache.

An underground gas leak

Here are the details as we know them:

Officials shut down all lanes of the westbound section of I-20 on Monday morning after a gas leak caused the concrete road to give way.

DeKalb County spokesman S.R. Fore told CNN that crews were pressure testing the empty gas pipe with air when a leak caused the air to push upward and damage the road.
