All clear given after Montclair gas main break

MONTCLAIR, New Jersey

About 100 people were evacuated while repairs were made.

Leak was capped and made safe shortly after noon.

South Park between Bloomfield Ave. and Church St. and the intersection of South Park and Bloomfield closed during the incident reopened shortly before 1:00 p.m.

The gas built up instead of being trapped under ground, so officials say things remained stable.
