A major road and the MTS trolley service in Lemon Grove was reopened Wednesday evening after crews were able to get a gas leak under control, according to officials from San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E).
The leak occurred after construction crews hit a gas line in the 7700 block of North Avenue.
Lemon Grove Avenue's offramp was shutdown after the 9:20 a.m. incident. Also MTS trolley service between Spring Street and Massachusetts was halted as crews worked to repair the gas line.
A nearby apartment complex was also told to shelter in place while crews worked to eliminate all ignition sources.
At around 2 p.m., SDG&E crews were able to get a handle on the leak. Firefighters reopened the road and the trolley service is back in service.
