Gas leak on Dillingham Boulevard caused by HART contractor
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A gas leak shut down a portion of Dillingham Boulevard in Kalihi Monday morning after a HART contractor struck a gas line, officials said.
The gas leak was reported to HFD just after 9 a.m.
Firefighters on scene reported a “two gas line break.”
“The contractor followed all protocols and notified Hawaii Gas, the Honolulu Fire Department, and the Honolulu Police Department,” said HART CEO Lori Kahikina, P.E.
A portion of Dillingham Boulevard was shut down in both directions as crews repaired the break.
No evacuations were needed and no injuries reported.
Hawaii gas secured the leak around 10:30 a.m. and reopened the road by 3 p.m.
“HART and Hawaii Gas will continue to partner and work together as utility relocation construction continues,” Kahikina added.
