New Jersey Turnpike reopens in Cherry Hill after earlier gas leak

CHERRY HILL, N.J. (WPVI) -- The New Jersey Turnpike is open again in Cherry Hill after an earlier gas leak.

The highway had been closed between interchanges 3 and 4.

The incident was reported just before noon Friday.

Authorities say a contractor struck a gas pipe, causing the leak.

The line was struck during a demolition job at the old Victory Refrigeration Company on Woodcrest Rd. next to the Turnpike.
