Gas line break shuts down Northside Drive in Sandy Springs

Part of Northside Drive in Sandy Springs is shut down Thursday morning over a potential hazard for commuters.

The city blocked off part of the road overnight due to a gas line break.

Crews worked through the night to repair the break, but a closure remains in place between Mount Vernon Highway and New Northside Drive.

Drivers should use Mount Vernon Highway, Dupree Drive, and Powers Ferry Road as a detour to avoid the closure.

Officials have not said when the road will be reopened.
