Traffic was blocked along two downtown Homewood streets for about four hours Friday, May 20, while Nicor Gas workers fixed a gas main leak.

The site of the leak was at the intersection of Ridge Road and Harwood Avenue, and an adjacent building was evacuated as a precaution, according to Homewood Fire Chief Bob Grabowski. 

A fire department crew was on scene for about two hours, also as a precaution, he said. 

A Nicor Gas worker said the leak was not a serious one and was repaired by late morning.
