Update: 2 West-Bound Eureka Road Lanes to Re-Open After Gas Line Puncture
The rupture was caused by construction crews, according to the Roseville Fire Department.
Two Eureka Road west-bound lanes will be re-opened after a 4-inch natural gas-line puncture forced all west-bound lanes to be closed Wednesday morning.
One west-bound lane on Eureka Road, between Rocky Ridge Road and North Sunrise Avenue, will remain closed, according to Jeff Carman with the Roseville Fire Department.
Construction crews accidentally punctured the gas line during a dig-in. Crews were able to stop the gas leak around 11:10 a.m., Carman said, however repairs continue.
