Gas line break blocked major Columbia road, affecting 5 o’clock commute
Columbia Police blocked a major road in downtown Columbia because of a gas line break Thursday.
Huger Street between the 1100 and 1200 block closed Thursday afternoon. That block of Huger intersects with Gervais Street in the Vista near a McDonalds, which is a busy route during 5 o’clock traffic.
Columbia Fire Department and SCE&G crews responded to the scene, making repairs to the leak for hours, according to Columbia Police Department.
The route reopened Friday morning, according to a tweet from the police department.
