A stretch of Watson Boulevard in front of the Houston Medical Center in Warner Robins is closed to traffic this afternoon due to a gas leak.

The break happened at Watson Boulevard and Hospital Drive.

Warner Robins Public Information officer Tabitha Pugh says traffic on Watson Boulevard is closed between Briarcliff Road and  Pleasant Hill Road.

Pugh says that drivers who must get to the Houston Medical Center will need to drive to the back entrance on Sunset Drive.

Pugh says a work crew caused the gas main break doing roadwork in front of the Houston Medical Center around 1 p.m.

She said some neighboring businesses, like the CVS, were evacuated due to the threat of a gas explosion.

Traffic is being detoured through the nearby neighborhoods.

She said the detours will last the rest of the afternoon.

The Warner Robins Fire Department has also helped control traffic.
