Roosevelt Road reopened to traffic through Lombard
Traffic was flowing along Roosevelt Road in Lombard again on Friday after a natural gas leak forced the thoroughfare to close for much of Thursday between Highland Avenue and Westmore-Myers Road.
Village officials say the road reopened to traffic around 9 p.m. Thursday.
They said contractors ruptured a gas line while working on a water main lining project about 11:45 a.m. Thursday.
Throughout the day Thursday, traffic was detoured south to 22nd Street and motorists were advised to avoid the area where traffic delays were extensive.
