Gas line break fuels traffic jam on Atlantic Boulevard at St. Johns Bluff Road

Crews were working to fix a gas line break Wednesday afternoon that caused a large traffic backup on Atlantic Boulevard eastbound.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office was at the scene, detouring drivers at St. Johns Bluff Road. Crews from TECO Gas were also on scene.

Shortly before 4 p.m., the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department said TECO Gas located the shutoff valve and units were clearing.
