The block of Central Avenue between 15th Street and 20th Street will be closed to through traffic on Tuesday between 7:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. while crews from the Los Alamos Department of Public Utilities (DPU) repair a gas leak.

On eastbound Central approaching 20th, all traffic will detour onto 20th Street. Westbound through-traffic on Central Avenue will detour onto 15th Street.

While DPU’s Gas, Water & Sewer Division crews have not yet excavated to expose the pipeline that is leaking, they do not anticipate needing to turn gas service off for customers while repairing the line.
