Gas leak briefly closes Kapiolani Boulevard

Advertiser Staff

A gas leak at the construction site for the new Ala Moana Nordstrom store on Kapi'olani Boulevard closed traffic in both directions at about 10 this morning, police said.

By 10:30 a.m., Gas Co. crews were on the scene and traffic was flowing west-bound on Kapi'olani. All lanes of Kapi'olani were reopened by 10:40, police said.

Fire officials said there were no injuries at the 1519 Kapi'olani Blvd. site and it was unclear immediately how long it might take to repair the damaged line.
