DURHAM, North Carolina (WTVD) -- A gas leak closed the 1000 block of Main Street in Durham near Duke University's East Campus on Wednesday night.

There was a gas leak from a broken line on a gas meter, a spokesman for the Durham Fire Department said Wednesday.

It happened on Main Street between Gregson and Morgan. Emergency workers responded to the call a little before 8:30 p.m.

The leak was stopped at 9 p.m., Durham FD said. The street reopened shortly before 10 p.m., Durham Police said.
