A construction crew hit a gas main at 289 Washington Ave. in North Haven on Tuesday, which led to evacuations and a stop of rail traffic.
On Tuesday afternoon, only one lane of Washington Avenue was open in each direction. According to the fire department, the road fully opened just before 9:00 p.m.
Because of gas readings in the area, Best Western was evacuated and Amtrak suspended travel in the area.
People were asked to avoid the area all day while crews were on the scene.
