Gas main rupture closes West Main in Stamford

STAMFORD - Construction crews working in a parking lot off West Main Street Thursday morning struck a high pressure gas main, closing West Main until the pipe breach is closed. The rupture was called in a 8:45 a.m. by fire officials, who told police to close the road while the main is fixed. The main was struck in the CVS parking lot near 1938 West Main St. and the broken line appears to be a large diameter pipe. Crews on the scene say the leak is substantial. Eversource crews are on the way to the site. The closure could cause significant delays on West Main. Police are directing traffic through Harvard Avenue and Alvord Lane. jnickerson@stamfordadvocate.com
