Broken Gas Main Shuts Down Highway 95A, Old Chemstrand Area
October 18, 2018
A gas leak from a broken main closed the area around the intersection of Old Chemstrand Road and Highway 95A Thursday afternoon.
A backhoe reportedly struck a natural gas line near a railroad track just before 2 p.m. A cloud of gas was visibly leaking from the line. The leak was secured by Pensacola Energy about 2:40 p.m. and the roadway reopened.
CSX has halted all rail traffic in the area as a precaution due the leak.

811 before you dig!! Couldn’t imagine not having secure spots on a gas main before digging beside a Rd. And if they did have spots maybe time for a new operator
Lucky. No locate marks, plus a fiber cable marker right next to them. Big bill coming from Pensacola Energy but could’ve been hurt pretty bad
