Gas line rupture slows traffic at 81st and Memorial

Tulsa, Okla. — A gas line break near 81st and Memorial kept the intersection closed early Friday.

A construction crew digging near the intersection around 8 p.m. struck a natural gas line, causing it to spew gas until ONG could make temporary repairs.

The incident also required the Quiktrip nearby to cease operations for a time.

I'm told an ONG crew made the area safe for traffic this morning, but may need to make a permanent repair later.
