Gas Leak Shuts Down Post Road

At 9:30 am on Monday September 17, workers who were repaving the Post Road in Scarsdale, struck a gas line causing leaks to homes on Evon Court and the Post Road between Boulevard and Sprague Roads.

The road was shut down, and detours were set up, rerouting traffic while the Scarsdale Fire Department, the Police Department and Con Edison were called to the scene. Homes on Evon Court along with two homes on the Post Road were evacuated. IHM was notified and advised to keep students inside until further notice.

At 11:50 am Con Edison announced that the leak had been recapped and allowed residents to return to their homes. At 12:30 vehicles were cleared and both lanes of traffic were reopened.
