Channel 5 WCVB-TV investigates unfixed gas leaks across the state, including on Rte. 9 in Wellesley: “OK, that’s in the explosive range. It’s an immediate hazard. This manhole cover could blow off at any time,” a detector tells the news program. More in this video.
I drive through Wellesley twice a day on my work commute, and I frequently smell gas at the intersection of Rte 9 and Rte 16, especially when taking the on ramp to Rte 9 East from Rte 16 East, before the bridge across 9. Mapquest shows this as “Worcester Street”.
Has this been an ongoing problem for years? Has anyone called the gas company?
Thx
At the intersection of rt16 and 95 in Newton I can always smell gas if I sit at the red light. That cant be good.
