Riverdale Gas Leak Update



 
  This is what the intersection of the Henry Hudson Parkway North and West 239th Street looked like today after yesterdays gas leak at the site that closed area streets into the night. Workers for the contractor are back on the job, and you will see in the next photos just where the problem was. 


  It was this connection to other gas mains that had the problem or should I say leak.


  Here is a close up of the interconnection and overlapping gas lines where the gas leak occurred. 


  Interestingly enough, here is one of the barriers used around the construction area. Note the start date of the construction is 10 - 6 - 14 which is about when the contractor for Con Edison started. However the completion date is 11- 7 - 14, or over two months ago. A question to the DOT who issues the work permits would be - did the contractor have a valid work permit, and if not why did the DOT not shut the construction down?
