A Washington Gas utility crew continued working in the area of downtown Bethesda impacted by Monday night's gas leak yesterday. While Montgomery County officials stated that the leak had been located near the intersection of Old Georgetown Road and St. Elmo Avenue, work yesterday was focused a block away from there, on Cordell Avenue between Old Georgetown and Norfolk Avenue. That block had been part of the sizeable area ultimately cordoned off by County police by early Tuesday morning. Washington Gas has not yet commented publicly on the leak, which is in the same general area where other significant gas leaks have occurred in recent years, with the largest taking place in June of 2024 on Norfolk Avenue.
