Xcel Energy crews have repaired a ruptured natural gas pipeline in Aurora that closed traffic on a stretch of South Parker Road in Aurora.
Xcel Energy spokeswoman Michelle Aguayo said Sunday morning that it was an older pipeline about 10 feet underground. She said crews repaired the line and were finishing work at about 9 a.m. Sunday.
The Aurora Fire Rescue HAZMAT team is at the site to monitor the situation. The road was closed for a while in both directions between Dartmouth Avenue and Bethany Drive, according to the Aurora Police Department.
