Traffic diverted

for gas leak on Hwy. 85 Friday morning

A section of Ga. Highway 85 south of Fayetteville was blocked off for

over an hour Friday morning as crews repaired a gas main leak at a construction

site, officials said.

The leak occurred when a grading crew struck the line near Price Road

just after 8 a.m., said Capt. Pete Nelms of the Fayette County Department

of Fire and Emergency Services. Several buildings in the area were evacuated

as a precaution, including the Fayette County Department of Family and

Children Services, Georgia Farm and Ranch and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution,

Nelms said.

A self-storage facility is under construction at the site where the

leak occurred.
