High Pressure Steam Leak Capped After Forcing Street Closures On The East Side
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - Workers have capped a billowing steam leak from a manhole in Murray Hill Tuesday morning.
It happened at First Avenue and 36th Street around 5:45 a.m.
Officials said the problem was due to a high pressure steam leak.
Streets were closed on First Avenue between 34th Street and 38th Street.
Con Edison said the incident was not the result of a pipe rupture, but rather a valve failure.
No injuries were reported and no hazardous materials released, Con Ed said. No outages were reported.
The leak was capped and roads reopened around 8 a.m.
