PALM HARBOR, Fla. — All roads are back open after crews were able to repair a gas line rupture in Palm Harbor.

A Pinellas County contractor hit a 2-inch gas line Tuesday afternoon along the west side of McMullen Booth Road south of Tampa Road, shutting down part of the roadway.

A nearby medical facility was evacuated as a precautionary measure, but the county says the evacuation has since been rescinded.

The ramp from Tampa Road to southbound McMullen Booth Road has been reopened to traffic.
