Roads in the area are blocked off and evacuations are ongoing as crews respond to the gas leak in the 300 block of North Market Street, officials say.
DALLAS — Dallas Fire-Rescue’s Hazmat team is responding to an underground gas leak Tuesday in Downtown Dallas, leading to evacuations and road closures in the area, officials say.
DFR says their crews, including their HazMat team, were called shortly after 9 a.m. to the site in the 300 block of North Market Street in the West End area.
Most roads in the area have been blocked off as crews respond, officials said, and evacuations are ongoing. DFR says it’s working with Atmos to resolve the issue.
Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) said all DART service in the West End area is suspended.
DART said in a post on social media that bus and rail passengers should expect delays because of the gas leak. DART says passengers should look for shuttle buses at Pearl/Arts District, EBJ Union, Deep Ellum and Victory stations.
“Please allow additional travel time to reach your destination,” DART added in the post.
