Sylvan Road reopens after massive fire from gas leak
ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - A busy southwest Atlanta road reopened Thursday just before noon after a massive fire broke out the day prior due to a gas leak.
On Thursday morning, Atlanta Gas Light said the gas line was repaired and is “live.” The Georgia Department of Transportation then resurfaced Sylvan Road, including the on and off ramps from Langford Parkway.
