Some roads in Southbury are closed because of a gas leak and they could be closed for several hours.

Police said all roads near Main Street South and Route 172, in the exit 14 area of Interstate 84 West, are closed due to a gas leak.

Eversource has responded, the gas leak has been repaired and the damage to the pipeline has been mitigated, police said, but they expect it will take an extended period to repair and that exit 14, Main Street South at the intersection of Route 172 and the area near 775 Main Street South will continue to be closed for several more hours.

They are asking drivers to avoid the area.
