Washington & Jefferson reopens buildings after gas leak

Columbia Gas crews are repairing a broken gas main in Washington. Crews doing roadwork on Lincoln Street cut into a 4-inch gas line about noon today, according to emergency officials. The leak occurred at the corner of Lincoln and Maiden streets near the campus of Washington & Jefferson College. Emergency responders evacuated four buildings on campus. All are reopen. Today is considered "reading day" on campus, the day before finals begin, and regular classes are not in session.
