CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) - The Tidewater Community College Chesapeake campus has reopened after a gas leak caused the campus to evacuate Tuesday morning.
According to Capt. Mike Theibault with the Chesapeake Fire Department, a four inch gas line was severed on Cedar Road around 8:20 a.m. by an excavator in front of the TCC campus.
HAZMAT crews responded with monitoring equipment and determined the area had not reached a hazardous amount of gas away from the excavator.
Crews worked with school security to evacuate the TCC campus. There were about 40 students on campus at the time, as limited classes were in session.
Classes for TCC do not start again until Monday.
Crews were able to assist Columbia Gas with securing the leak.
The leak was secured at 9:07 a.m. and Cedar Road was reopened.
