A gas leak closed down part of North Shore Drive today.
According to the Lima Police Department, they were called out by Dominion Energy around 9:45 this morning for traffic control. Gas was leaking around the intersection of North Shore and Nye Street. LPD said no one dug and hit a gas line, rather it was a malfunction in a shutoff valve that was installed about a week ago. A crew from Cleveland was scheduled to come to shut off the gas line and handle the issue.
Dominion assured that people in the area were in no danger.
