An on-site contractor hit a gas line in 17th street during planned construction work this morning. First responders were able to quickly repair the gas leak, and no one was injured. All buildings can be occupied, and classes should continue as normal. The smell of gas may be present in the air as it dissipates.

The university appreciates the quick response of MUPD, Milwaukee Fire Department and WE Energies.
